ISSUE TYPE
  • Feature Idea
COMPONENT NAME

mysql_user

ANSIBLE VERSION
ansible 2.3.0.0
  config file = /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg
  configured module search path = [u'/usr/share/ansible']
  python version = 2.7.9 (default, Jun 29 2016, 13:08:31) [GCC 4.9.2]

OS / ENVIRONMENT

N/A

SUMMARY

Would be useful to use mysql_user with just check_implicit_admin (no name given) which combined with register would just check for implicit admin access allowing further steps in role to rely on the result (i.e. skip certain actions).

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

- mysql_user:
      check_implicit_admin: yes
  register: check_result

- debug:
      var: check_result
EXPECTED RESULTS
ok: [pl_neo_sql] => {
    "changed": false,
    "implicit_admin": true
}

ACTUAL RESULTS

It actually fails as name is required.
