Hi

In the host_var file for the server I have ansible_user set like this.

$ cat host_vars/u1.yml
---
ansible_user: ansible


Sometimes I would like to use an another user for some ad hoc commands, but -u/--user is ignored

$ ansible u1 -a id -vvvv -u user1
Loaded callback minimal of type stdout, v2.0
<192.168.122.106> ESTABLISH SSH CONNECTION FOR USER: ansible


Shouldn’t -u/--user overwrite ansible_user variable?

Or is -e/--extra-vars the only way?

$ ansible u1 -a id -vvvv -e ansible_user=user1
Loaded callback minimal of type stdout, v2.0
<192.168.122.106> ESTABLISH SSH CONNECTION FOR USER: user1
