Hi Guys,

I have created some users. Now I want to create one group and add all the users to this group. But I want to do this dynamically using Ansible Playbook. How can I do that?

Hi@akhtar,

You can find one module named group in Ansible. This module is used to create a group at run time. You can use the below YML script.

- hosts: all
  tasks:
  - name: Create a Group
    group:
      name: Group1
      state: present
