Ansible playbook only working with root user and failing when running with other sudo user

I had a working playbook in my test environment, where my user was root user itslef and didnt have any issue. When i moved my playbook to staging environment , there my login user account is "admin" which is sudo user. But all of my playbooks are failing in this environment.

Answer 1

I will suggest making for admin@10.16.24.102 and admin@10.165.240.103 sudo access without password:

You can add to /etc/sudoers file:

admin ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL
