Hi I came into a problem while I was trying to make this role work.

> - name: add db  
> mysql\_db: name={{ item.user }} state=present  
> with\_items: users

> - name: add user  
> mysql\_user: name={{ item.user }} host=localhost password={{ mysql\_pass }}  
> state=present priv={{ item.db }}.\*:ALL  
> with\_items: users

How can I create variable list so I can have multiple databases for single user and setup db permissions on coresponding databases for specific user?

eg.
