Hi All
i'm trying to give a few users access to an an Ansible server to run 
playbooks to do Application recycle on a few servers, these users should 
not have access to the target servers for security reason, so there is what 
i have and what has been done.

ansible --version
ansible 2.4.2.0
config file = /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg

#inventory = /etc/ansible/hosts

and here is the host file

[jbservers]
server01
server02

[all:vars]
ansible_ssh_user= someuser
ansible_ssh_private_key_file = /rsa/id_rsa

my ansible server use a service account and Key based login (Private/Public 
key)
i added a few users with limited access to the Ansible server, they can 
access a directory to run playbooks from with no sudo or root access, only 
permission to run a few playbooks.

when the users run the playbooks targeting the servers in the ansible host 
file the playbooks will fail with error message bellow when these users run 
it.

\nLoad key "/rsa/id_rsa": Permission denied\r\nPermission denied 
(publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic,password).\r\n", "unreachable": 
true}

but if i give the users permission to access the ssh private key ( 
/rsa/id_rsa) then they can run the playbooks with no issue.

the question is:
how can i make users run these playbooks without giving them permissions to 
read the private key (/rsa/id_rsa) ?
being looking since last night, can not find any way to do it, even with 
ansible-vault doesnt seem to work.

Thanks in advance for your help.
