ansible.builtin.include_role – Load and execute a role  Note This module is part of ansible-base and included in all Ansible installations. In most cases, you can use the short module name include_role even without specifying the collections: keyword. Despite that, we recommend you use the FQCN for easy linking to the module documentation and to avoid conflicting with other collections that may have the same module name.   New in version 2.2: of ansible.builtin   Synopsis Parameters Notes See Also Examples  Synopsis  Dynamically loads and executes a specified role as a task. May be used only where Ansible tasks are allowed - inside pre_tasks, tasks, or post_tasks playbook objects, or as a task inside a role. Task-level keywords, loops, and conditionals apply only to the include_role statement itself. To apply keywords to the tasks within the role, pass them using the apply option or use ansible.builtin.import_role instead. Ignores some keywords, like until and retries. This module is also supported for Windows targets.  Parameters   Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments    allow_duplicates  boolean    
Choices: no 
yes ←    Overrides the role's metadata setting to allow using a role more than once with the same parameters.     apply  string   added in 2.7 of ansible.builtin      Accepts a hash of task keywords (e.g. tags, become) that will be applied to all tasks within the included role.     defaults_from  string    Default:"main"   File to load from a role's defaults/ directory.     handlers_from  string   added in 2.8 of ansible.builtin    Default:"main"   File to load from a role's handlers/ directory.     name  string / required      The name of the role to be executed.     public  boolean   added in 2.7 of ansible.builtin    
Choices: 
no ← yes    This option dictates whether the role's vars and defaults are exposed to the playbook. If set to yes the variables will be available to tasks following the include_role task. This functionality differs from standard variable exposure for roles listed under the roles header or import_role as they are exposed at playbook parsing time, and available to earlier roles and tasks as well.     tasks_from  string    Default:"main"   File to load from a role's tasks/ directory.     vars_from  string    Default:"main"   File to load from a role's vars/ directory.     Notes  Note  Handlers are made available to the whole play. Before Ansible 2.4, as with include, this task could be static or dynamic, If static, it implied that it won’t need templating, loops or conditionals and will show included tasks in the --list options. Ansible would try to autodetect what is needed, but you can set static to yes or no at task level to control this. After Ansible 2.4, you can use ansible.builtin.import_role for static behaviour and this action for dynamic one.   See Also  See also  ansible.builtin.import_playbook
