Why am I Getting the Error “Sorry, user 'user1' is not allowed to execute" when using dzdo as become_method?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • We are using dzdo as become_method and need to switch the user in playbooks to perform a few tasks, but we are getting errors while doing so. The following is a sample playbook:

    - hosts: tests
      become_method: dzdo
      become: yes
      tasks:
        - name: test
          shell: date
          become_user: test1
    
  • Getting below Error :

     <example> (1, "Sorry, user test is not allowed to execute '/bin/sh -c echo BECOME-SUCCESS-xildtaheyzakdjqaagujyohooamdmpux; /usr/bin/python /tmp/ansible-tmp-1513597610.16-44940030388307/command.py' as test1 on xyz.example.com.\r\n",
