touch create_user_with_public_key_access.yml

<code>#!/usr/bin/env ansible-playbook --ask-pass</code>


<pre>
#!/usr/bin/env ansible-playbook

- hosts: YOUR_HOST_GROUP
  vars:
    USERNAME: YOUR_USERNAME

  tasks:
  - name: Create user  
    user:
      name: "{{ USERNAME }}"
      #comment: Add you comment here

  - name: Set authorized key defining and key options for user XXXXXX
    authorized_key:
      user: "{{ USERNAME }}"
      state: present
      key: "{{ lookup('file', '/tmp/id_ed25519.pub') }}"           # Path to users public key
</pre>

<code>ansible-playbook  create_user_with_public_key_access.yml </code>
