There are predefined linux servers hostnames, these hostnames have to be within the /etc/ansible/hosts in order to execute the yaml.
Yaml for creating user
--- # start of YAML file
- hosts: linux # ubs1,ubs2,ubs3 defined in /etc/ansible/hosts
become: true # required privilege escalation
become_user: root # escalated to root, i.e. sudo
tasks:
- name: create user # name for this task
user: # user module see https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/user_module.html
name: unixadm # username to be created.
group: sudo # join this user to sudo group
shell: /bin/bash # allow unixadm to use /bin/bash
password: $6$jhdI.QNeBQQd5YLI$L1nUAC0utehr.kHzaurps5a1i.y5k4.LQ9bo/WjE8O0DSaHnUy/H9wyKwmzla/Ijc/02SUvWTypt4KsQCdZ9C. # Use https://www.mkpasswd.net/index.php to generate hash password
state: present # present means i want username to exist, hence creating a user.
... # end of YAML file
I used an online mkpasswd to generate the hash for a password.
