Specifying mode is the best way to ensure filesystem objects are created with the correct permissions. If mode is not specified and the destination filesystem object does exist, the mode of the existing filesystem object will be used. If mode is not specified and the destination filesystem object does not exist, the default umask on the system will be used when setting the mode for the newly created filesystem object. Giving Ansible a number without following either of these rules will end up with a decimal number which will have unexpected results.Īs of Ansible 1.8, the mode may be specified as a symbolic mode (for example, u+rwx or u=rw,g=r,o=r). Adding a leading zero (for example, 0755) works sometimes, but can fail in loops and some other circumstances. For consistent results, quote octal numbers (for example, '644' or '1777') so Ansible receives a string and can do its own conversion from string into number. You must give Ansible enough information to parse them correctly. The permissions the resulting filesystem object should have.įor those used to /usr/bin/chmod remember that modes are actually octal numbers. See the module if you want to change multiple, similar lines or check if you want to insert/update/remove a block of lines in a file. This is primarily useful when you want to change a single line in a file only. This module ensures a particular line is in a file, or replace an existing line using a back-referenced regular expression.
