# partial-become
This rule checks that privilege escalation is activated when changing users.
To perform an action as a different user with the `become_user` directive, you
must set `become: true`.
!!! warning
While Ansible inherits have of `become` and `become_user` from upper levels,
like play level or command line, we do not look at these values. This rule
requires you to be explicit and always define both in the same place, mainly
in order to prevent accidents when some tasks are moved from one location to
another one.
## Problematic Code
```yaml
---
- name: Example playbook
hosts: localhost
tasks:
- name: Start the httpd service as the apache user
ansible.builtin.service:
name: httpd
state: started
become_user: apache # <- Does not change the user because "become: true" is not set.
```
## Correct Code
```yaml
- name: Example playbook
hosts: localhost
tasks:
- name: Start the httpd service as the apache user
ansible.builtin.service:
name: httpd
state: started
become: true # <- Activates privilege escalation.
become_user: apache # <- Changes the user with the desired privileges.
```
