Hello,

Thanks for the e-mail. I have figured out the problem.

---
- hosts: all
  #become: yes
  #become_user: "{{ username }}"
  #become_method: sudo
- import_playbook: ../../main.yml


In the above case, becoming as another user is of no use. Once I have
imported playbook ( ie., main.yml ), it was running as vagrant user
somehow. So I have commented it out. Once I have added like this in
../../main.yml, then everything is working fine. main.yml is the one which
downloads and adds ssh keys.

$ head -6 ../../main.yml
---
- hosts: all

  become: yes
  become_user: "{{ username }}"
  become_method: sudo
