Hi Michael, I think you want something like:
---
- name: Set up users
hosts: localhost
gather_facts: no
vars:
users:
alice:
name: Alice Appleworth
mail: al...@appleworth.com
pass: ..hash...
bob:
name: Bob Bananarama
mail: b...@bananarama.com
pass: ..hash..
tasks:
- name: Add user
debug: msg="Add user {{ item.key }} password {{ item.value.pass }}"
with_dict: users
Here's the section of the docs you want -
http://docs.ansible.com/playbooks_loops.html#looping-over-hashes
