If you want the opposite behavior, use M(include_role) instead. To better understand the difference you can read the L(Including and Importing Guide,../user_guide/playbooks_reuse_includes.html). version_added: "2.4" options: name: description: - The name of the role to be executed. required: True tasks_from: description: - File to load from a role's C(tasks/) directory. default: main vars_from: description: - File to load from a role's C(vars/) directory. default: main defaults_from: description: - File to load from a role's C(defaults/) directory. default: main allow_duplicates: description: - Overrides the role's metadata setting to allow using a role more than once with the same parameters. type: bool default: 'yes' private: description: - This option is a no op, and the functionality described in previous versions was not implemented. This option will be removed in Ansible v2.8. type: bool default: 'no' notes: - Handlers are made available to the whole play. - "Since Ansible 2.7: variables defined in C(vars) and C(defaults) for the role are exposed at playbook parsing time. Due to this, these variables will be accessible to roles and tasks executed before the location of the C(import_role) task." - Unlike C(include_role) variable exposure is not configurable, and will always be exposed.
