How to add a user to a second group on Linux with Ansible?
I’m going to show you a live demo with some simple Ansible code.
I’m Luca Berton and welcome to today’s episode of Ansible Pilot.

Ansible adds a user to second a group

• `ansible.builtin.user`
• Manage user accounts

Today we’re talking about the Ansible module `user`.
The full name is ansible.builtin.user, which means that is part of the collection of modules “builtin” with ansible and shipped with it.
It’s a module pretty stable and out for years, it manages user accounts.
It supports a huge variety of Linux distributions, SunOS and macOS and FreeBSD.
For Windows, use the `ansible.windows.win_user` module instead.
