Ansible: systemd fails. Which sudo permissions are needed?

Ansible 2.9, Linux Ubuntu 18.

I'm getting the following error with Ansible, when trying to change the status of a service with 'systemd'.

failed: [host.domain.com] (item=service_1) => {"ansible_loop_var": "item", "changed": false, "item": "service_1", "module_stderr": "Shared connection to host.domain.com closed.\r\n", "module_stdout": "\r\n", "msg": "MODULE FAILURE\nSee stdout/stderr for the exact error", "rc": 1}

 - name: Stop services
   ansible.builtin.systemd:
    name: "{{ serv }}"
    state: stopped
   with_servs:
             - service_1
             - service_2
             - service_3
  become: yes

Which sudo permissions are needed to run ansible.builtin.systemd? I'm trying to find out what command Ansible sends to the device to check if I gave the right permissions to the account, but no success on finding that yet (any hints?).

At first change your with_servs to loop: ist much easier to writes playbooks with loop. Set become as a globall var for playbook. Workaround for this can be exec. a coomand by module commands but it's not recomennded because, in every sitatuion it will be executing this commands even when service is stopped.
