Hi,  
I want to create users in the database using Ansible. I need ansible to run the task (creating user) for all the users mentioned in the vars: schemaname. How do I do that in loop ?

var:  
schemaname: user1, user2, user3

tasks:

- name: This playbook will create the user.  
oracle\_user:  
oracle\_home: /home/ansible/instantclient\_12\_2  
user: “{{user}}”  
password: “{{password}}”  
service\_name: “{{sname}}”  
port: “{{prt}}”  
hostname: “{{hostname}}”  
schema: “{{schemaname}}”  
schema\_password:  
default\_tablespace: USERS  
state: present  
update\_password: on\_create  
grants: “DBA”  
environment: “{{oracle\_env}}”  
register: user\_create  
delegate\_to: localhost

You can use with\_items module. You can read more about it here:
