24.5. Ensuring the absence of member managers in IdM user groups using Ansible playbooks

Procedure

1. Create an Ansible playbook file with the necessary user and group member management information:

   ---
   - name: Playbook to handle membership management
     hosts: ipaserver
   
     vars_files:
     - /home/user_name/MyPlaybooks/secret.yml
     tasks:
     - name: Ensure member manager user and group members are absent for group_a
       freeipa.ansible_freeipa.ipagroup:
         ipaadmin_password: "{{ ipaadmin_password }}"
         name: group_a
         membermanager_user: test
         membermanager_group: group_admins
         action: member
         state: absent

2. Run the playbook:

   $ ansible-playbook --vault-password-file=password_file -v -i path_to_inventory_directory/inventory.file path_to_playbooks_directory/ensure-member-managers-are-absent.yml

1. Log into ipaserver as administrator:

   $ ssh admin@server.idm.example.com
   Password:
   [admin@server /]$

2. Display information about group_a:

   ipaserver]$ ipa group-show group_a
     Group name: group_a
     GID: 1133400009
