You might already have installed this collection if you are using Ansible Engine 2.9 or the ansible package. It is not included in ansible-core. To check whether it is installed, run ansible-galaxy collection list.

To install it, use: ansible-galaxy collection install community.general.

To use it in a playbook, specify: community.general.redhat_subscription.

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
  gather_facts: no
  vars:
    register_syspurpose_activationkey: rhel-dev-test
    register_syspurpose_password: 123456
  roles:
