inventory_update.sh crashes with "[Errno13] Permission denied" error

[druwoldt]

I login as standard user account.
mkdir ~/rhis
cd ~/rhis
git clone https://github.com/parmstro/rhis-builder-inventory
cd ~/rhis/rhis-builder-inventory
vi inventory_basevars.yml
Save file
Run ./inventory_update.sh
I get the following error

TASK [Create rhis-builder-inventory configuration directory for local.org] *****
fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "There was an issue creating local.org as requested: [Errno 13] Permission denied: b'local.org'", "path": "local.org"}

If I create ~/rhis/rhis-builder-inventory/local.org and run inventory_update.sh again I get the following error
