- { name: 'testuser1', groups: 'wheel' }
- { name: 'testuser2', groups: 'root' }

Nested Loops
````````````

Loops can be nested too:

- name: give all employees access to every departament's database
mysql_user: name={{ item[0] }} priv={{ item[1] }}.*:*
with_nested:
- [ 'alice', 'bob', 'eve' ]
- [ 'clientdb', 'employeedb', 'providerdb' ]

As with the case of 'with_items" above, you can use previously defined variables, and you can use their raw name without templating it with '{{ }}'.

- name: here, 'users' contains the above list of employees
mysql_user: name={{ item[0] }} priv={{ item[1] }}.*:*
with_nested:
- users
- [ 'clientdb', 'employeedb', 'providerdb' ]
