Using rabbitmq_user module with multiple permissions

Hello,

I’m working on a rabbitmqAnsible role and I have to write the task dedicated to users creation and configuration.

I defined the following variable in my playbook:
vars:

  • rabbitmq_resources:
  • type_resource: “vhost”
    name: “/test”
    node: “rabbit@host1ansible”
  • type_resource: “vhost”
    name: “/other”
    node: “rabbit@host1ansible”
  • type_resource: “user”
    name: “rabbitmqadmin”
    password: “rabbitmqadmin”
    permissions:
  • vhost: “/test”
    configure_priv: “."
    read_priv: ".    ”
    write_priv: “.*”
  • vhost: “/other”
    configure_priv: “."
    read_priv: ".    ”
    write_priv: “.*”
    tags: “administrator”
    state: present

Then I want to write the task code dedicated to user processing:

  • name: Creating RabbitMQ users
    rabbitmq_user:
    name: “{{ item.name|mandatory }}”
    permissions:
    vhost: “{{ item.value.vhost }}”
    configure_priv: “{{ item.value.configure_priv }}”
    read_priv: “{{ item.value.read_priv }}”
    write_priv: “{{ item.value.write_priv }}”
    tags: “{{ item.tags }}”
    state: present
    with_subelements:
  • “{{ rabbitmq_resources }}”
  • type_resource
  • permissions
    when: item.type_resource == “user”

The syntax above generates a message “subelements lookup expects a list of two or three items, the optional third item must be a dict with flags skip_missing”.
I tested various loop syntaxes (with_items, with_subelements, with_dict) but I’m still unable to find the right one.

Help will be appreciated.

Thank’s

Finally, I decided to replace the permissions list by a JSON array:
permissions: [{“vhost”: “/test”,“configure_priv”: “.",“read_priv”: ".”,“write_priv”: “."},
{“vhost”: “/other”,“configure_priv”: ".”,“read_priv”: “.",“write_priv”: ".”}]

The task code is now:

  • name: Creating RabbitMQ users
    rabbitmq_user:
    name: “{{ item.name|mandatory }}”
    permissions: “{{ item.permissions }}”
    tags: “{{ item.tags }}”
    state: present
    with_items: “{{ rabbitmq_resources }}”
    when: item.type_resource == “user”

and it works fine.
