Examples

Simple example for creating two users and two groups.

- name: Install GO CD Server
  hosts: sandbox

  roles:
    - name: ansible-city.users_and_groups
      users_and_groups:
        groups:
          - name: lorem
            system: yes
          - name: ipsum
        users:
          - name: lorem.ipsum
            groups:
              - ipsum
              - lorem
            ssh_key: ./lorem.ipsum.pub
          - name: dolor.ament
            groups:
              - ipsum

In most cases you would keep the list of users in external vars file or group|host vars file.

- name: Install GO CD Server
  hosts: sandbox

  vars_files:
    - "vars/sandbox/users.yml"

  roles:
    - name: ansible-city.users_and_groups
      users_and_groups:
        groups: "{{ base_image.os_groups }}"
        users: "{{ base_image.admins }}"

    - name: ansible-city.users_and_groups
      users_and_groups:
        users: "{{ developers }}"

Add selected group to sudoers

- name: Configure User Access
  hosts: sandbox

  vars_files:
    - "vars/sandbox/users.yml"

  roles:
    - role: sansible.users_and_groups
      users_and_groups:
        groups: "{{ base_image.os_groups }}"
        users: "{{ base_image.admins + developers }}"

    - role: sansible.users_and_groups
      users_and_groups:
        sudoers:
          - name: wheel
            user: "%wheel"
            runas: "ALL=(ALL)"
            commands: "NOPASSWD: ALL"
