I have created a directory 'users' alongside my inventory. It has a

I've got this, but it looks horrible:

- name: set up user dicts

You could avoid this by just using regular group_vars/.
Are there ways to make this cleaner?
Probably not the answer you're looking for: While I use ansible for many
things I'd always prefer a decent user management system over hacking
this into ansible playbooks. Maintaining users, groups and maybe sudoers
in a database gives you required features like enforcing unique
constraints (username, POSIX-UID/-GID), data references, audit reports
etc. There are various ready-to-use systems (most times based on some
LDAP server) to choose from.
Ciao, Michael.
