One question and one issue:

1. question (above):
How can I set the credentials for alternative user?

2. issue:
playbook:

> - name: Preparation
>
  remote_user: root 
>
  vars: 
>     - ansible_ssh_private_key_file: ~/.ssh/site-root
>   ...
>     
> - name: Main play
>
  remote_user: ci
>
  ...
>
Does not work: 'Main play' will be executed as root user 

If I put the following at the end:

>     - ansible_ssh_private_key_file: ~/.ssh/site-ci
>

...then I get the following error:

> SSH Error: Permission denied 
> (publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic,password).

So root user is stucked somehow... and one cannot authenticate root with 
ci's key.
