become method - pbrun and su

Archives Ansible Project

Hi,

On our servers we usually do pbrun su - to switch to a privileged application user. These application users have no password set.

But Ansible’s become_method only supports any one method either pbrun or su or sudo.

Sudo is not an option as once servers are in production we loose root/sudo access completely.

Is there any other way that I can use pbrun su ? Did anyone come across this scenario ?

Regards,
Veda
