Modules

Modules are operations executed by tasks. They require parameters for its execution.

E.g.:

- name: save user info
  copy:
    content: |
      uid: {{ rash.user.uid }}
      gid: {{ rash.user.gid }}
    dest: "{% if rash.user.uid != 0 %}/tmp{% endif %}/user_info"
    mode: "{{ env.FILE_MODE | default('400') }}"

Omitting parameters

By default all parameters defined in yaml are passed to the module. However, you can omit them programmatically.

E.g.:

"{{ env.MY_PASSWORD_MODE | default(omit) }}"

Furthermore, if you are chaining additional filters after the default(omit), you should instead do something like this: "{{ foo | default(None) | some_filter or omit }}". In this example, the default None value will cause the later filters to fail, which will trigger the or omit portion of the logic. Using omit in this manner is very specific to the later filters you are chaining though, so be prepared for some trial and error if you do this.
