az84inf01v.am.freescale.net : ok=1 changed=0 unreachable=0 failed=1

I get the following error when I execute:

ansible-playbook create_users.yml
ERROR! failed at splitting arguments, either an unbalanced jinja2 block or quotes: user={{ item.username }} key="[[ lookup('file', 'pub_keys/{{ item.username }}.pub') ]]" path="/home/{{ item.username ]]/.ssh/authorized_keys" manage_dir=no

The error appears to have been in '/home/fyakin/create_users.yml': line 22, column 7, but may
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.

The offending line appears to be:

- name:  Setup | authorized key upload
  ^ here

Hi

Thanks for your code, it is very understanding for setting up the user. But I have faced the issue with removing.

Not able to remove the user and also from sudoers file, could you please check and update asap thanks.
