Hello Alicia,
I just ran ad-hoc command with -u ansible parameter like below:
$ ansible all -i production -u ansible -l mygroup -a "uptime"
myserver | CHANGED | rc=0 >>
12:13:22 up 11 days, 2:26, 2 users, load average: 0.00, 0.02, 0.05
ansible user is defined on myserver, and it is in sudoers file in wheel
group without password required.
