Description
I use the the variable ssh_allow_users for a debian system:
ssh_allow_users:
- "{{ ansible_user }}"
- user2
- user3
The outcome is AllowUsers ['user1', 'user2', 'user3'] which doesn't work on my end.
It would work like AllowUsers user1 user2 user3.
Reproduction steps
Add the variable:
ssh_allow_users:
- "{{ ansible_user }}"
- user2
- user3
### Current Behavior
The out come is `AllowUsers ['user1', 'user2', 'user3']` which doesn't work on my side.
### Expected Behavior
It would work like `AllowUsers user1 user2 user3`.
### OS / Environment
The target is a fresh installed Debian minimal system. Coming from an Arch system.
### Ansible Version
```Shell
2.18.1

Thanks for the report.
We documented that parameter as string, so a list is not expected here.
To fix your problem, you need to convert the list to a string in your vars. e.g.:
Your use-case seems reasonable though. Let me think a bit on how to support that, this might be a good addition to our collection.

Thanks!
I should read it properly ;)
I'm happy with that solution.
I'll leave the issue open.
