Ansible: Pbrun not able to execute

I have the below inventory file

[server]
abc.com
[server:vars]
ansible_user="user1"
ansible_ssh_pass="pwd"
ansible_pbrun_exe="pbrun"
ansible_pbrun_password="pqa"
ansible_pbrun_user="root"

and the playbook file

---
- name: Upgrade Java Version to all the hosts
  hosts: all
  tasks:
    - name: run simple command
      shell: java -version 2>&1 | grep version | awk '{print $3}' | sed 's/"//g'
      register: javav
      
    - name: remove the currently installed java
      become: true
      become_method: "pbrun"
      shell: |
        mv /usr/bin/java  ~/bckup_java_exe
        mv /usr/java/ ~/bckup_java

Now when I run the ansible playbook it connects to the ssh host and is also able to run the java -version .. command successfully but not able to run the mv command as it needs pbrun

when I remove become: true from playbook it shows Permission error

```
: Permission denied", "mv: cannot move `/usr/java/' to
````

And when I do not remove become: true it gives some other error, and it is not working either

I do not see that you have set become_method: pbrun anywhere. This is required.

I have added become_method: pbrun into the playbook but still getting error permission denied

@RajarshiDas It looks like you don't have access, then. You should talk to the appropriate people in your company to get the correct access.

Michael the solution is become_flags: 'sa'. I ran pbrun sa -u root but thanks for your help

@RajarshiDas You should tick your own answer because it contains the correct solution.

The solution i have found is below

  become: "yes"
  become_method: "pbrun"
  become_user: "root"
  become_flags: "sa"

as we ran pbrun sa -u root

also do not forget to set ansible_become_pass into inventory file or --ask-become-pass

thanks

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
