Ansible source error

[Scifire]

Not sure if this is the right place, in case if not please let me know.

We´re using an Ansible Resource Model Source with netbox as inventory.

As soon as I adjust the filter the Windows nodes are added I got an error and Windows nodes are not added to rundeck, but Linux nodes are added.
In the ui following error is shown:

In the Rundeck service log following error is shown:

[2022-03-29T16:01:46,525] WARN  resources.LoggingResourceModelSourceCache - [ResourceModelSource: 2.source (com.batix.rundeck.plugins.AnsibleResourceModelSourceFactory), project: Coperate_IT_Ansible] Returning cached model data

When I use the same source directly with ansible everything works even on the same host where rundeck is running.

Does anyone have a hint for me what could be the issue?

[SoarinFerret]

Same issue here. I upgraded my rundeck server to 4.1.0 and this started to happen. Previously running on 3.4.10 and the same inventory file worked fine. Trying to upgrade the plugin did not work - any help would be appreciated!

[sculliga]

This issue is caused by the account connecting to the Windows node not having administrative rights.
Some more details can be found in #323

[SoarinFerret]

This does not seem to be the issue on my end. That account is working fine before the upgrade. I restored from backup back to the older version of rundeck, and all my tasks are running again (which definitely require admin permissions)
