	- name: Create Minio user

	name: "{{ minio_user }}"
	group: "{{ minio_group }}"
	system: "yes"
	shell: "/usr/sbin/nologin"

The PR #41 by @drakmail did not explicitly removed the default ansible behavior of not create the home.

Suggestion to add by default create_home: no

On this case, I agree with @SuperQ to not create home if the user is created by atosatto.ansible-minio. The way to implement this would be add an extra line create_home: no.

Suggestion to allow not manange user/group running minio

The problem with this is that, different from the option to not allow this role create the data dirs with minio_server_make_datadirs: true there is no option to disable management of the user/group. So even if a user define another user/group to run minio, this role may in fact revert options of user created by other roles or tasks.

Hi @fititnt, this sounds like a good idea indeed.
Any chance for you to contribute this in a PR? I will review it and merge it as soon as possible.

@atosatto Sounds like a plan.

It's an easy addition, but I will do some basic tests.
