Ansible uses wrong SSH user

Problem:
Running Ansible commands on Hosts does not work because Ansible uses the wrong user. Running SSH commands works fine. (setting the ansible_user parameter does nothing)

Expected outcome:
Ansible should use the same user as SSH or have an option to select the correct user.

Foreman and Proxy versions:
1.23.0-RC1
