Hi ,

Pratically im implementing this use case :

Passing a inventory file containing host and vars associated ,i would create a play that iterate for each linux acciunt to create per host

this is my inventory file format :

hostname1 account\_name=‘john doe’ user\_name=‘jdoe’ group\_name=‘basic’  
hostname1 account\_name=‘robert key’ user\_name=‘rkey’ group\_name=‘basic’  
hostname1 account\_name=‘gin ice’ user\_name=‘gice’ group\_name=‘basic’

When i ran the playbook i can see only last row is executed.

Someone can suggest me how i have to write the playbook … i tried with\_items= “{{ user\_name }}” but the result is the same.

Thank you ,
