Hi Dick
Exactly! argh, I didn't see that problem. This worked fine:
- name: Create oracle user
ansible.builtin.user:
name: oracle
state: present
uid: 54321
group: oinstall
groups: dba,asmdba,backupdba,dgdba,kmdba,racdba
password: "{{ ansible_password | password_hash('sha512') }}"
Thanks very much for the help!
