Ansible Service Module and sudo

[Isa Baboo]

Hi All

I am trying to user a systemd service with ansible. Basically I am trying to restart jboss with a jboss user. I have allowed this user to stop/start/ using sudo without a password in the sudoers file and it works

sudo /usr/bin/systemctl stop jboss

. When I try with ansible I get Access denied

---
- hosts: isa
  tasks:
  - name: make sure jboss is running
    service: name=jboss state=running

So I tried running the playbook with the become option

---
- hosts: isa
  tasks:
  - name: make sure jboss is running
    service: name=jboss state=running
    become: yes
                                         

Now I get this message

=> Missing become password

As I mentioned the sudoers file do not require a password for this command so How to I get ansible run this?
