Hi there,

I’m trying to setup an users role so that it will create users. This is not really difficult, but I only want to create users on a host if you are in a group.

I’ve got the following vars:  
users:

- name: “Werner Dijkerman”  
state: present  
uid: 1000  
gid: 1000  
groups:
- admin
- monitor

users\_group:

- admin

And the following task:

- name: Create user task  
user: name=“{{ item.name }}”  
state=“{{ item.state }}”  
with\_items: “{{ users }}”  
when: users\_group in item.groups

When I run the playbook, it is “skipping” the “Create user task”. I know I do miss some arguments in the user task. I would expect an error message instead of skipping the task.

So when you are in the “admin” group, it will create you on the host.  
But this won’t work. What am I missing or doing wrong?

Kind regards,  
Werner

Sorry, my fault. Was to busy with everything and after few hours I noticed that my post wasn’t there. I created only but after a while I started to remember about an approval process… 🙂
