STEPS TO REPRODUCE
- name: Allow ZFS to be mounted by {{ item.user }}

entity: "{{ item.nas_user }}"
etype: user
permissions: aD
state: present
use_nfsv4_acls: true
loop: "{{ zfs_permissions }}"
when: "'mount' in (item.perms | default([]))"EXPECTED RESULTS
It using the correct executable for BSD platforms
