Unix Users Setup

This role can be used to create Unix users and assign them to groups.

Requirements

None.

Role Variables

There is one main variable that drives this role: _unix_users. It is a map that contains all configuration and settings for this role. Please see defaults/main.yml for details.

Dependencies

None.

Example Playbook

The general contract of this role is to take the variables map _unix_users from defaults/main.yml as a template for your configuration and pass that configuration as a parameter to this role.

Including an example of how to use your role (for instance, with variables passed in as parameters) is always nice for users too:

- hosts: servers
  var:
    UNIX_USERS:
      ...
  roles:
     - { role: unix_users, tags: [ 'unix_users' ], _unix_users: "{{ UNIX_USERS }}" }
