Hello, remove become\_method: su, and leave the default value, which is  
sudo. This will call your command with sudo  
If you want to specify a different password for sudo, use the  
variable: ansible\_become\_password.

docs here: [https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user\_guide/become.html](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/become.html)
