Hi All,
I am facing issues with being able to login with my credentials and then sudo (become) msp user…
When I manually ssh to the test_server, I use the command “sudo su - msp” to switch user and run few commands. But it doesnt seem to be working with ansibal.

Can someone please help?

Playbook:

  • hosts: test_servers
    become: yes
    tasks:
  • shell: whoami

Command to run:
ansible-playbook b02.yml -u fn.last --ask-pass

cfg Entries:
[privilege_escalation]
become=True
become_method=sudo
become_user=msp
become_ask_pass=True

Output
$ ansible-playbook b02.yml -u fn.last --ask-pass
SSH password:
SUDO password[defaults to SSH password]:

sudo su does not work, you need to be able to use sudo to run any command as msp.
