I'm not sure what value the with_items adds to this. Its all hardcoded values
so why not hard code them into the parameters of the task?
ansible.builtin.copy:
src: "{{ lookup('ansible.builtin.first_found', findme) }}"
dest: "/etc/security/access.conf"
owner: "root"
group: "root"
mode: "0644"
Very clever use of first_found and your find_me vars definition.

the below block is an example block i use in a few places to copy in
config files and select a host specific file if it exists. not sure
if it's the best way, but it works for now. what i'd like to do is
add in group selection as well. ie if there's group file look for
that first
so above line 5 you could have
"files/{{ansible_local.baseos.ver}}/{{item.src}}_AG{{group}}" but
clearly that wont work because there likely is more then on group
attached to a host. so i need to try all the groups of a host and see
if there's a matching file. the only way i can think to do it is to
create a second task that looks in the repository for a matching group
file and then registers a variable which i can include in the below
block above line 5
is there a better way?
