Hi Everyone,
Currently, in Ansible Tower it’s not possible to escalate to root user when using the local connection and this design has been implemented on purpose to restrict AWX user from sudo operations. The reason is that all playbooks in Ansible Tower are executed by AWX user. For details refer to the below link:
