Ansible Role: Linux Accounts

An Ansible role to provision multiple Linux accounts including SSH keys.

Requirements

N/A

Role Variables

You need to define the following variable:

• linux_accounts_default_users: A dictionary of user account names and a list of their SSH keys.
• linux_accounts_group: Name of the group which will be created and users will be added. Note that any users in this group that aren't mentioned in linux_accounts_default_users nor linux_accounts_additional_users will be deleted.
• linux_accounts_default_sudo_users: List of user names that will be added to the sudo group.

If you have a set of default users per system, but want to add additional ones depending on the system, you can define linux_accounts_additional_users with the same structure as linux_accounts_default_users. Same applies to linux_accounts_additional_sudo_users with linux_accounts_default_sudo_users.

Dependencies

None.

    }
