Hi,  
What I want is to add members to a local group on centos, but this members are not local but from an ldap (the access work fine with my ldap account on my linux system).  
I tried ansible.builtin.user but this module create each time local users, and I don"t want this user to be created on the system.  
And the module ansible.builtin.group doesn’t have an option to do this (it’s a shame no ?).

Regards.
