I have a role that I am calling for simple user administration. I appreciate any feedback on what I am doing.

First of all here is the command line that I am running:

ansible-playbook -i inventories/rd general\_users.yml --extra-vars “target=haproxy targetusers=bastionusers” -u -K

The playbook will start fine and collects host data and properly pulls in my users.yml. Then when the actual user addition task fires off I get the following error:

fatal: [server1]: FAILED! =\> {“failed”: true, “msg”: “ERROR! ‘unicode object’ has no attribute ‘comment’”}  
fatal: [server2]: FAILED! =\> {“failed”: true, “msg”: “ERROR! ‘unicode object’ has no attribute ‘comment’”}

**general\_users.yml**
