Ansible Playbook Permission

Question

I have one host abc.com where I have downloaded playbooks from GitHub. There are multiple users which can connect to abc.com but I want to restrict the playbook execution for specific user X.

So that only X can execute the playbooks not the other users.

How can I achieve this ?

Answer 1

• Create new user,
• set 0750 to new home directory,
• put playbooks into new homedir,
• allow your user to run sudo -u newuser ansible example.yml.
