Notes

Failed to set permissions on the temporary files Ansible needs to create when becoming an unprivileged user

If you get an error similar to:

fatal: [ponsfrilus]: FAILED! => {"msg": "Failed to set permissions on the temporary files Ansible needs to create when becoming an unprivileged user (rc: 1, err: chown: changing ownership of '/var/tmp/ansible-tmp-1586959025.216097-122038295697183/': Operation not permitted\nchown: changing ownership of '/var/tmp/ansible-tmp-1586959025.216097-122038295697183/AnsiballZ_stat.py': Operation not permitted\n}). For information on working around this, see https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/become.html#becoming-an-unprivileged-user"}

be sure that the acl package is installed on the host.

It's also can be workarounded with an ansible.cfg file in the project's root, with:

[defaults]
allow_world_readable_tmpfiles=true
