yet another question about loops

I want to be able to merge users across servers.
For example,
I want user1 to be on all of my hosts
and I want user_special_at_office to be only at my office’s servers

So I made inventory file, where I specified all of the groups.
I made group_vars for all and for office

As I’ve read I can merge only dictionaries.

file group_vars/all

There are various ways you could go about doing this. Here’s one of them.
users.yml

Thanks, Dan!
I’ve managed to do what I wanted with you help.
I ended up with:
setting hash_behaviour = merge in ansible.cfg

group_vars/all

`

users:
user1:
comment: “user1”
state: “present”
groups:

  • “wheel”
  • “dvp”
    authorized:
  • “ssh-rsa 111”
  • “ssh-rsa 222”
    user2:
    comment: “user2”
    state: ‘absent’
    groups:
  • “wheel”
  • “dvp”
    authorized:
  • “ssh-rsa 333”
    user3:
    comment: “user3”
    state: ‘absent’
    groups:
  • “wheel”
  • “dvp”
    authorized:
  • “ssh-rsa 123”
    user4:
    comment: “user4”
    state: ‘absent’
    groups:
  • “dvp”
    authorized:
  • “ssh-rsa 555”
