Get user details

[Ravikumar Wagh]

Is there any way to get available users in system or an spcific user details.

hello,

Yes, you can get available users or user details in system by using ansible playbooks. For this you need to use the command / win_command module. 

"The command module takes the command name followed by a list of space-delimited arguments and executes the given command on all selected nodes."

If  you are trying to retrieve user or user details on a linux system, you may use below playbooks: 

1. To get available users in system 

   - name: get available users in system

     command: cut -d: -f1 /etc/passwd

     register: AvailableUsers

  - debug: msg="{{ AvailableUsers.stdout }}"

2. To get a spcific user details.

   - name: get specific user details in system

     command: id username

     register: SpecificUserDetails

- debug: msg="{{ SpecificUserDetails.stdout }}"

If  you are trying to retrieve user or user details on a windows system, you may use below playbooks: 

1. To get available users in system 

   - name: get available users in system

     win_command: net user 

     register: AvailableUsers

  - debug: msg="{{ AvailableUsers.stdout }}"

2. To get a spcific user details.

   - name: get specific user details in system

     win_command: net user  username

     register: SpecificUserDetails

- debug: msg="{{ SpecificUserDetails.stdout }}"

Thanks
