So I can’t find KSU in the list or any documentation why it should be gone. Is it by design or is it a bug?

It’s supported in Ansible core since 2.2, but it has never been added as a privilege escalation choice in AWX:

Submit a PR to add it!

Hi Chris

Sound like a good Idea.

Forking.

Was there every a PR submitted to add KSU support? Is this on the roadmap at all?

Thanks!
