Hi Luca:
I've added that command become: yes like you and Stefan said, and make
my playbook as simple as below for a test. But after I run this playbook
where I didn't see any error, I still couldn't see the new user "edison"
created on target server. However if I run this playbook on my ansible
control node, I can see the user "edison'' created. The control node can
login target server with ansbile_user "manager". Did I miss any part?

- hosts: all
become: yes
tasks:
- name: add a new user
user:
name: it-manager
password:

shell: /bin/bash
state: present
groups: sudo
