Presently I do all system administration for my organization. Another 
colleague will soon be handling some administration duties. I have 
configured Ansible to add his user using the user module. In testing this, 
I also configured Ansible to configure my user "skyler" but this task 
always fails with the error "usermod: user skyler is currently logged in." 
This leads me to believe that Ansible cannot manage the user that is 
currently running the Ansible play (in this case, set via ansible_ssh_user).

Which user should Ansible use? And if this user is different than my user 
or my colleague's user, we will need to share those credentials, correct?

I was hoping we could run Ansible using our own individual accounts, and 
that Ansible would also manage these accounts, but this doesn't seem 
possible.

Do I understand correct or have I missed something?
