Module nxos_user not recognizing fails saying role is invalid

[Eliezer Rodriguez]

Hi everybody,

I wrote this playbook to create a new role in Nexus OS and then create a new user to use that role.
The role gets created but when it's time for the second task to create the role it fails with a non-existent role error.

---
- name: Playing with Nexus OS module
  hosts: all
  gather_facts: false
  vars:
        ansible_connection: network_cli
        ansible_network_os: nxos
tasks:
   - name: create a new role
     nxos_config:
        backup: yes
        lines:
             - rule 10 permit command show policy-map interface input
             - rule 20 permit command show vrf *
             - rule 30 permit command show run vrf *
        parents: role name aegisro

   - name: create a new user
     nxos_user:
        name: aegis_new
        configured_password: <password here>
        state: present
        role: aegisro
  - name: save config
     nxos_config:
          save: yes
...


I get this when running the playbook:

$ ansible-playbook -i ../hosts.ivan --limit bs1.lab aegis-user.yml

PLAY [Playing with Nexus OS module] *********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

TASK [create a new role] ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
ok: [bs1.lab]

TASK [create a new user] ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
fatal: [bs1.lab]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "invalid role specified"}
    to retry, use: --limit @/home/elie/ansible-secbu/etc/ansible/playbooks/aegis-user.retry

PLAY RECAP **********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
bs1.lab                    : ok=1    changed=0    unreachable=0    failed=1

Any ideas on how to make the second task aware of the role that just got created ?

I had the same problem.  It seem like it is a shortcoming of the nxos_user module.  It seems like roles are checked against a hard-coded list of standard roles, and the module can't work with user defined roles at all.

Thanks,

Alex
