Hello,

I’m in the process of writing an Ansible Playbook that will install and setup Ansible Tower 3.1.1. Everything so far is ok in that I can get Ansible Tower installed, but after that I become reliant on the GUI for things like licencing and setting up github authentication, and the mapping of users etc.

Is it possible to add tasks to my automated method or is the gui the only way forward?

Thanks for you help

There are some Tower modules that have been added to the upcoming 2.3 release that may be helpful: [http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/list\_of\_web\_infrastructure\_modules.html#ansible-tower](http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/list_of_web_infrastructure_modules.html#ansible-tower)

However, on a more generic note, for tower questions and issues, you should use [https://access.redhat.com/products/ansible-tower-red-hat](https://access.redhat.com/products/ansible-tower-red-hat)

This list is for the open source ansible project.

You can copy the license to file /etc/tower/license

ansible 2.3 has a bunch of modules coming for some of this; [http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/list\_of\_web\_infrastructure\_modules.html#ansible-tower](http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/list_of_web_infrastructure_modules.html#ansible-tower) but for now you could probably install tower-cli and do it that way.
