All,

I’m looking for a way to back up my devices and upload the backups to my private GitLab server from AWX. To achieve this, I created a credential type in AWX and copied my AWX private key to the credential type I created. However, for some reason, I continue to receive a request for the sudo password to create the folder and key in the AWX execution environment during job execution.

Does anyone have an idea of how I can resolve this?
