Ansible :: Error while linking: [Errno 13] Permission denied

[Swapnil Bendekar]

Hello Folks,

With Ansible(2.3.0.0)  and  python(2.6.6), executing ansible playbook from webadmin user. 

Using remote_user = ansible (in ansible.cfg )for passwordless authentication.

While creating symlink, getting Error while linking: [Errno 13] Permission denied

 file:

      src: /path/to/be/linked

      dest: "{{dest_home}}/{{dest_app}}"

      state: link

      follow: True

      force: True

 

Do let me know if any other information needed.

Appreciate your help to resolve this issue.

As the error message say, the user doesn't have the permission to create
the link.
Resolve the permission or run it with become.
