Hi everyone.

I've been mulling something over in my head, I've got something I want to 
tackle, but I'm not sure how to go about doing so.

Here's the scenario: I want to put together a tiny role that manages user's 
authorized keys. Keys defined in the inventory 
(host_vars/group_vars/playbook vars, etc.) should be the only ones present 
in the user's authorized_keys file.

I have some keys specified like so:

root_ssh_public_keys:
  member1:
    pubkey: ssh-rsa 
AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABIwAAAQEAvVO3ULx8fNGgInHCFQV6w/gEARBWyS9eA1qRaTEu4njawEjiqSGFHgPuvmgtKlft2MqbnCG3cokFKRAEOZEzy+jUMES8IQEHuSsJuZFnlUC4yzm1mI1OjJk9PwTLDD6OGJDL1gIkz37CYITbsaufS6gFrpoMBZhkVcVKk0JBnmwF/QZUD1uHKFLMtyVwvw8pzWcBcAYBBw5O6hjo2pRIX100bCdMxDrXwFp4yFiJPG6LCya4701whZpqgwk3d/RakJdZLA3pgAlVPZswz8ezj2U5PIYJl+LrUaPE57ZR/eVwNnBE7QPsKCCurIy1bLR0KXiqOmUzdzWDphYCelRurQ==

  member2:

Currently, I have this task that deploys them and ensures they're the only 
keys in the root user's authorized_keys list:

  - name: "Ensure team pubkeys are in root's authorized_keys"
    authorized_key:
      user: root
      manage_dir: yes
      exclusive: yes
      key: |
        {% for _, user in root_ssh_public_keys.items()%}
        {% for _, key in user.items() %}
            {{ key }}
        {% endfor %}
        {% endfor %}
    tags: ssh_keys

Now, what I want to be able to do is chuck this into a little role, and 
have it be usable for any user definitions.
So, say I had a system with the user 'example' on, and I wanted to specify 
some keys I want that user to have in their authorized_keys list.
I could go to that system's host_vars and add the following:

example_ssh_public_keys:
  someone:
    pubkey: ssh-rsa 
AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABIwAAAQEAvVO3ULx8fNGgInHCFQV6w/gEARBWyS9eA1qRaTEu4njawEjiqSGFHgPuvmgtKlft2MqbnCG3cokFKRAEOZEzy+jUMES8IQEHuSsJuZFnlUC4yzm1mI1OjJk9PwTLDD6OGJDL1gIkz37CYITbsaufS6gFrpoMBZhkVcVKk0JBnmwF/QZUD1uHKFLMtyVwvw8pzWcBcAYBBw5O6hjo2pRIX100bCdMxDrXwFp4yFiJPG6LCya4701whZpqgwk3d/RakJdZLA3pgAlVPZswz8ezj2U5PIYJl+LrUaPE57ZR/eVwNnBE7QPsKCCurIy1bLR0KXiqOmUzdzWDphYCelRurQ==
 someone
  someone_else:
    pubkey: ssh-rsa 
AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABIwAAAQEAtkScC/o1aDxaXFJdyTMhlF4UewNO/tdQf6EIYJzikSBNKECBjmvrM6bNaIkWA/AzB2dgTS0mug2aVomsBeyN8gAGfV/Wi3bO1kXuI23BmkPUn36OgE5ppQ0O2Gp8VjJaffV9EiYeEY/QlwnshAS9gfDPeTO+u5f0ZP0TZw29m+F3CKIJWPruDJJvXMkyc5qokh5kUpm0qYlhGyDi596st3Gsh/9LF/I2sEJH3LTP0gs0bWjbHN9XcIw8gbPT50zNZvqv9FGvgsMCErYC5lwPVN1670cpOpqLYV4PgU77t751CE9RsmASeB6Elwh0pAKlfxzITBx4W6aVxkl8Utlblw==
 someone_else  


Notice the variable name is 'example_ssh_public_keys'.
In my task above, I need a way of dynamically defining both the 'user' 
parameter value (shown above as 'root') and the dictionary I'm operating on 
(shown above as 'root_ssh_public_keys').

My point being I need this to be re-usable for different users.

Am I going about this in a really stupid manner? What would be the best way 
to approach this?

Thanks in advance for any help!
