Example Playbook

Including an example of how to use your role (for instance, with variables passed in as parameters) is always nice for users too:

- hosts: all
  become: yes
  vars:
    machine_users:
        - name: paul
          password: asdfasdf
          groups: ['wheel', 'users']
    machine_groups:
        - users
