FWIW. See "ios\_config traceback on some devices #40884"  
[https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/40884](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/40884)  
(locked and limited conversation to collaborators on Jul 22)

"... Operation requires privilege escalation on a device whose user account  
was level 15 already). Running ios\_facts and supplying the running\_config to  
the ios\_config task worked fine, but the weird thing is I'm on ansible  
2.8.2? ..."

This isn’t ios\_config though. When i log into the device with the username and password in the ansible script it works fine and the command takes. So why is it failing?
