# Add User to System using Ansible

In Ansible we can use `ansible.builtin.user` module to add a user to the system.

## Example(s)

### 1. Add user 'jungle'

```yaml
- name: Add the user 'jungle'
  ansible.builtin.user:
      name: jungle
      comment: Jungle
```

### 2. Add a user with specific attributes

```yaml
- name: Add the user 'jungle' with specific attributes
  ansible.builtin.user:
      name: jungle
      comment: Jungle
      home: /home/jungle
      shell: /bin/bash
      password: "{{ 'password' | password_hash('sha512') }}"
```

### 3. Adding groups to the user

```yaml
- name: Add the user 'jungle' and assign to groups
  ansible.builtin.user:
      name: jungle
      groups: sudo,users
      append: yes
```
