Error:

ERROR! 'ansible_user' is not a valid attribute for a Play

Hello,

the ansible_user needs to be set in the inventory.

Regards
        Racke


The error appears to be in '/root/modsec-compile.yml': line 2, column 3, but may

be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.


The offending line appears to be:


---

- hosts: default

^ here
