This become plugin is part of ansible-core
and included in all Ansible
installations. In most cases, you can use the short

runas

However, we recommend you use the Fully Qualified Collection Name (FQCN) ansible.builtin.runas
for easy linking to the
plugin documentation and to avoid conflicting with other collections that may have
the same become plugin name.

Notes
Note
runas is really implemented in the powershell module handler and as such can only be used with winrm connections.
This plugin ignores the ‘become_exe’ setting as it uses an API and not an executable.
The Secondary Logon service (seclogon) must be running to use runas
