Thanks for your earlier reply Adam.
So how can I combine variables for a list of "users" defined like so:
*group_vars/all*
users:
- name: alice
comment: Alice
*group_vars/group1*
users:
- name: bob
comment: Bob
*host_vars/host1*
users:
- name: charlie
comment: Charlie
How can all these variables be combined using "loop" or "with_items"?
What if there are duplicates?
Can the "host_vars/host1" variables override and take precedence over the
"group_vars/all" variables?
Regards,
Suhail.
