Error using state: absent in oracle_grant module

[anandsolomon]

Here is my playbook
tasks:
- name: This playbook will create the user.
oracle_grants:
user: "{{user}}"
password: "{{password}}"
service_name: "{{sname}}"
port: "{{prt}}"
hostname: "{{hostname}}"
schema: TSTSCH

grants: "'DBA','create session','create any table',connect,resource"

    grants: 'create session'
    state: absent
  environment: "{{oracle_env}}"
  register: user_grants
  delegate_to: localhost

I am getting the below error

The full traceback is:

Hi,

You don’t really need to use state: absent with this module. Just specify the grants that you want and the module will figure out the rest.
So if you don’t the schema to have create session, just remove it from the list.

I’m thinking about removing the state directive altogether, but I haven’t decided yet..

I’ll fix this error though.

[anandsolomon]

Thanks very much. I will remove the state from my playbook.

[oravirt]

For now, keep the state but set it to present

[anandsolomon]

My use case is, I have 5 users, all 5 users will have different grants, But I want to revoke only one grant that is common in all the 5 users. How do I do that ? If I have keep state: present, this revokes all the grants the user has and gives only the grant parameter has.

[oravirt]

If you want this module to manage the grants of these users, then you create a list of the users with their individual grants and run the module against that list.

e.g
If w is the grant that is 'shared' across all users, just comment it out (or remove from the list) and then it will be removed from all users

- myusers:
       - name: user1
          grants:
               - a
               - b
               #- w
       - name: user2
          grants:
               - c
               - d
               - e
              # - w
      - name: user3
          grants:
               - f
               - g
               - h
              # - w
       - name: user4
          grants:
               - i
               - j
               - k
              # - w
        - name: user5
          grants:
               - l
               - m
               - n
               #- w
