force_perms.yml

--- 

# This is an ugly hack that sets the permissions correctly to g+rwX,o+rX
# for all files that is owned by the current user that is running the playbook.
#
# Our roles try to set the permissions correctly as good as they can,
# but sometimes the files might end up in a limbo state due to e.g. a 
# canceled playbook run. In those cases the operator can run this playbook 
# to correct all files owned by him/her. 
#
# Note that this by purpose will miss changing the permissions of files
# owned by an other user, as we do not want to have the playbook cluttered
# with a lot of errors when the permission change fails.
