Hi,

Just had one more question. Is there a way to stop an Ansible playbook or 
set of lines from executing if a variable matches a specific text? I saw 
the Ansible conditionals documentation 
<http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/playbooks_conditionals.html>, 
however it doesn't provide good examples on how to achieve this with a 
"when:" statement nor does it tell where would be best to insert these 
conditionals to prevent the specific lines from executing.

Here's my script

---
- hosts: all

  become: yes

  vars_prompt:
   - name: "new_user"
     prompt: "What is the name of the new user?"
     when: new_user != "root"

  tasks:
   - name: some function
     command: .....
    
   - name: another function
     command: .....
  

Do I tack the "when:" conditional on at the end of the vars_prompt: or 
after each "command:" function below that to stop the commands from being 
run?
