Hello Everyone,

Does anyone know “awx” user password for sudo in the pod (awx-ansible-task) for local tasks?

Thanks

Hi!

If you are just attempting to run ansible playbooks locally, you should be able to turn become flag to False. Does this help?

Hello Seth,

I know I can set localhost become=false at playbook or Inventory. Can you please let me know if we can set this in AWX for all Jobs by default.

Thanks,

you can set it in settings/defaults.py “AWX\_TASK\_ENV”

e.g.

AWX\_TASK\_ENV = {“become”: False}
