Become Plugins
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
Become plugins work to ensure that Ansible can use certain privilege escalation systems when running the basic
|
|
commands to work with the target machine as well as the modules required to execute the tasks specified in
|
|
the play.
|
|
|
|
These utilities (``sudo``, ``su``, ``doas``, etc) generally let you 'become' another user to execute a command
|
|
with the permissions of that user.

Enabling Become Plugins
|
|
+++++++++++++++++++++++
|
|
|
|
The become plugins shipped with Ansible are already enabled. Custom plugins can be added by placing
|
|
them into a ``become_plugins`` directory adjacent to your play, inside a role, or by placing them in one of
|
|
the become plugin directory sources configured in :ref:`ansible.cfg <ansible_configuration_settings>`.

Using Become Plugins
|
|
++++++++++++++++++++
|
|
|
|
In addition to the default configuration settings in :ref:`ansible_configuration_settings` or the
|
|
``--become-method`` command line option, you can use the ``become_method`` keyword in a play or, if you need
|
|
to be 'host specific', the connection variable ``ansible_become_method`` to select the plugin to use.
|
|
|
|
You can further control the settings for each plugin via other configuration options detailed in the plugin
|
|
themselves (linked below).
