Hi,

I have a playbook in which I need to run tasks with different remote users.

This is what the main playlist looks like:

#Configure and install all we need
- hosts: ec2hosts
  gather_facts: true
  remote_user: ec2-user
  sudo: yes
  roles:
    - common



And all tasks that have to be run as ec2-user work great.

However, I need to run some of the tasks with a different user, named 
rails. In order to do this, I specify the remote_user parameter in the 
task, but for some reason, the task is still executed as ec2-user:

- name: rbenv // basic test
  shell: ls -lah
  remote_user: rails
  sudo: no
  tags: rbenv



Resulting in this:
TASK: [common | rbenv // basic test]

Which shows me the list of files of the ec2-user home folder.

Is there any particular reason why I can't override the remote_user, or 
what am I doing wrong?

Thanks
