Not an issue: user loops and variable changes

[tedleyem]

I'm working on a playbook that will enable a list of 10 test users but I want to be able to see when each user's state has changed so I figured I would loop it so it iterates in terminal well.

I was curious, if I wanted to do this with 100 users, is there a way to set an array in my variables so I don't have such a long list. forgive me if this is the wrong place to put this

Projected example (with possibly bad syntax) :
test_users: "test_user_[1-100]"

Variables

ipa_host: "ipa.example.com"
exp_date: 20210209235959
test_users:

• "test_user_1"

• "test_user_2"

• "test_user_3"

• "test_user_4"

• "test_user_5"

• "test_user_6"

• "test_user_7"

• "test_user_8"

• "test_user_9"

• "test_user_10"
  Playbook

• name: Ensure test_users are enabled
  community.general.ipa_user:
  name: "{{ item }}"
  state: enabled
  ipa_host: "{{ ipa_host }}"
  krbpasswordexpiration: "{{ exp_date }}"
  with_items:

  • "{{ test_users }}"
