 Become
 ``````
 Ansible allows you 'become' another user, different from the user that logged into the machine (remote user). This is done using existing
-privilege escalation tools, which you probably already use or have configured, like 'sudo', 'su', 'pfexec', 'doas', 'pbrun' and others.

 .. note:: Before 1.9 Ansible mostly allowed the use of `sudo` and a limited use of `su` to allow a login/remote user to become a different user
     and execute tasks, create resources with the 2nd user's permissions. As of 1.9 `become` supersedes the old sudo/su, while still being backwards compatible.
