I have a playbook with a role that creates users that are defined in group_vars/all, similar to this role https://galaxy.ansible.com/list#/roles/51. When I define a user in the host_vars/foo it takes over precedence and does not add the users I have in group_vars/all. I have set hash_behaviour = merge in my ansible.cfg. Is this expected behavior? My use case is I have my sysadmin users defined in group_vars/all that should be present on all hosts and I want to give access to a dev on the foo host only. Is there a better way to approach this?
group_vars/all
users:
- username: sysadmin
name: sysadmin
groups: ['sysadmin']
uid: 1001
ssh_key:
- "ssh-rsa AAAA.....ZZZZ"
host_vars/foo
users:
- username: dev
name: dev
groups: ['dev']
uid: 2001
ssh_key:
- "ssh-rsa AAAA.....ZZZZ"
Thanks.
