Some people will recommend to simply use modules user [1] and group [2] to add user accounts to all your systems. While I like automation via ansible this approach has deficiencies, e.g. you have to provide unique UID and GID values in the inventory and thus you need a database which enforces this uniqueness. Off-topic: Some people will recommend FreeIPA and there are some IPA-specific ansible modules. But I needed delegated administration and strict need-to-know priniciple. Thus I've developed my own solution Æ-DIR (see https://ae-dir.com/) which is based on OpenLDAP and has some more components you need. Being the author I'm biased of course. On-topic again: Æ-DIR is installed with ansible [3]. :-) Ciao, Michael.
