Inventory groups with same hosts but differnts ansible_ssh_user

[Hervé Leclerc]

hello,

Here is a sample inventory that i want to use

[paadadm]

machine1   ansible_ssh_user=admin comment="Sandbox Admin Node"

[paadsrvwbsa]

machine1  ansible_ssh_user=doe comment="Sandbox Node A"

[paadsrvwbsb]

machine2 ansible_ssh_user=anotherone comment="Sandbox Node B"

[paadstack:children]

paadadm

paadsrvwbsa

paadsrvwbsb

if i use this  sample playbook 

---

- hosts: paadstack

  remote_user: '{{ ansible_ssh_user }}'

  tasks:

     - name: "hello"

       debug: msg="hello {{ ansible_ssh_user }}"

i get this output :

PLAY [paadstack] **************************************************************

GATHERING FACTS ***************************************************************

ok: [machine1]

ok: [machine2]

TASK: [hello] *****************************************************************

ok: [machine1] => {

    "msg": "hello doe"

}

ok: [machine2] => {

    "msg": "hello anotherone"

}

PLAY RECAP ********************************************************************

machine1                   : ok=2    changed=0    unreachable=0    failed=0

machine2                   : ok=2    changed=0    unreachable=0    failed=0

is it possible not to make an alias on machine1 to have 2 executions on machine1 because users are differents ?

Finally i've found the solution (thx to raphael) : make an inventory alias

[paadsrvwbsa]

machine1_alias ansible_ssh_host=machine1  ansible_ssh_user=doe comment="Sandbox Node A"
