I run the following ansible script on my Centos and Ubuntu servers.
- name: add user testuser1
user:
name: "testuser1"
state: present
groups: "wheel"
The script worked fine on Centos but failed on Ubuntu.
The error message was:
fatal: [ubuntu1]: FAILED! =>

Does anyone have any idea why it failed on Ubuntu?

I don't think ubuntu has a group named wheel, you can use
addgroup wheel
however it may be best if you what it is you are trying to accomplish.
Are you trying to add to the sudoers group? as this group is sudoers
usermod -aG sudo testuser1

There is no wheel group in Ubuntu. That's a Debian-ism that did not get included in Ubuntu by default.
The corresponding equivalent group for sudo access in Ubuntu is called sudo. You should be adding users who get sudo access to that group, and not wheel.

I created a new group called 'Wheel' in both Centos OS and Ubuntu. The group was created in Centos but not in Ubuntu, and I don't know why?

Just to clarification the group name doesn't matter .. the group could have been called anything - the fact is that the group wasn't created in Ubuntu, but it was created in Centos.
