How to set user password expiration time on Linux with Ansible?

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 and supports a huge variety of Linux distributions.

For Windows, use the `ansible.windows.win_user` module instead.
