Basic sudoers module for Ansible

Ansible Sudoers Module

This is a basic Ansible module to facilitate adding Sudoers config to the /etc/sudoers.d/ directory. While does manage to distribute the sudoers library directory, Ansible galaxy does not seem to show any content. I assume you're supposed share more than supporting libraries...

This module does not currently attempt to support all options supported by Sudoers. The case this module currently handles is when a Sudoers rule to grant a single or list of commands (or ALL) sudo access with or without a password requirement.

It supports granting by user or by group.

It does not currently support aliases, but it is probably not too difficult to add.

Examples

Allow the backup user to run sudo /usr/local/bin/backup without requiring a password

- sudoers:
    name: allow-backup
    user: backup
    command: /usr/local/bin/backup

This will create a file /etc/sudoers.d/allow-backup containing:

backup ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/local/bin/backup\n`

Allow the monitoring group to run sudo /usr/local/bin/gather-app-metrics without requiring a password

- sudoers:
    name: monitor-app
    group: monitoring
    command: /usr/local/bin/gather-app-metrics

This will create a file /etc/sudoers.d/monitor-app containing:

%monitoring ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/local/bin/gather-app-metrics\n`

Allow alice to run sudo /bin/systemctl restart my-service or sudo /bin/systemctl reload my-service, but a password is required

- sudoers:
    name: alice-service
    user: alice
    command:
      - /bin/systemctl restart my-service
      - /bin/systemctl reload my-service
    nopassword: false

This will create a file /etc/sudoers.d/alice-service containing:

alice ALL=: /bin/systemctl restart my-service, /bin/systemctl reload my-service\n`

Revoke the previous sudo grants given to alice

- sudoers:
    name: alice-service
    state: absent

This will delete the file at /etc/sudoers.d/alice-service.
