Add new user and add to existing group

[Zeljko Dokman]

Hi,

Can some one help me with my playbook for adding new user and adding that user to existing groups...

Playbook....

- hosts: "{{ target }}"

  become: yes

  become_user: root

  become_method: sudo

  gather_facts: no

  tasks:

    - name: User add "{{ user }}"

      user: name="{{ user }}" comment="{{ comment }}" uid="{{ uid }}" groups="{{  groups }}"

      notify:

        - Chage added user

  handlers:

    - name: Chage added user

      shell: chage -M 99999 "{{ user }}"

My command...

ansible-playbook user_add_and_to_group.yaml -K -e "target=egcp-tst-rde.mbu.local user=test1 comment=testuser uid=9990 groups=sysadm"

I am getting this error...

 "msg": "argument groups is of type <type 'dict'> and we were unable to convert to list: <type 'dict'> cannot be converted to a list"

If I use the play book without groups parameter playbook is successful if I manually define groups directly in the playbook its successful but it fails if I use it with variables and I do not understand why

groups is a reserved variable name in Ansible, groups contain all the
groups in the inventory.
