I have written the below ansible
code for removal of Unix
user accounts.
- hosts: dev
vars:
username: 'testuser'
become: true
tasks:
- name: Remove User
user:
name: '{{ username }}'
state: absent
remove: yes
This works fine for a single user. However if I want to remove multiple users at the same time , do I need to create separate variable for each of the user to be deleted and a separate user
resource to remove this user. In that case if there are mulitple users the code will become too long. ANy suggestions ?
Create a list of users to be deleted user_names
. Then iterate the list by loop.
- hosts: dev
become: true
vars:
user_names:
- testuser1
- testuser2
- testuser3
tasks:
- name: Remove Users
user:
name: "{{ item }}"
state: absent
remove: true
loop: "{{ user_names }}"
