Hey All
I'm new to Ansible so I may be trying to do things completely wrong...
Ideally I'd like "adding groups" to be a stand alone task, so I can call it
with the group file name from other tasks but lets crawl before we run.
I need to add a large number of groups to certain machines (users too, but
groups come first). The GID is already defined so I need to pass that along
with the group.
I get this error when I try with my code below, I've tried replacing "item"
with "our_groups" but get the same error just a change it what is undefined.
[unix@ansible01:~]$ ansible-playbook -i ansible/inventories/hosts ansible/
roles/linux/tasks/main.yml
<SNIP>
