Hi all, I'm migrating form puppet. The last playbook/manifest which is missing is the user management. On the puppet I wroute module and some libs an it worked like this I habe list of pall users in some array users\_list\_all: user01, user02, user03, user04 For each server I have list of enabled users, this could be done by host\_vars in ansible users\_enabled: user01, user03 If you add the user to the "users\_enabled", the user is created. So far so good. And now the tricky part. If you remove the user from the user\_enabled, the user is removed, so the ansible script should be able to check - If the users in "user\_enabled" array do exists, if not crete them - if the users in "user\_s\_list\_all" - "users\_enabled" do not exists, if exists remove them Please could anybody help me to solve this tricky problem? I' managing couple of server, where no all users have access to all servers.   best regards     Peter Hudec
