Thanks for your response Michael. I've already read through that page
a few times. It does not work for me because I need an array of users,
and  then I need to be able to select which user have access to each
class of server. This method would give every user access to every
machine. I need to be able to specify something like with items -
users.alice - users.bob and not have carol included.

Hi Michael, I think you want something like:

---
- name: Set up users
   hosts: localhost
   gather_facts: no

   vars:
     users:
       alice:
         name: Alice Appleworth
         mail: [email protected]
         pass: ..hash...
       bob:
         name: Bob Bananarama
         mail: [email protected]
         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 -

I am not able to figure out how to get the user name, ie "alice" as
item.key is not valid. I think this is because using "{{ alice }}" does not
preserve the name. Does anyone know how I can structure this? I've tried
putting them all under users, but with_items: users.alice does not work.

Thanks in advance for any help. The docs do not seem to cover this and
I've Googled Ansible arrays and dicts to the point where I'm not finding any
new pages.
