I am trying to check if inventory_hostname is in a list into an imported variable.



vars/users.yml file:
---
users:

- username: user1
comment: "User 1"
group: admin
password: "sha password"
keys:
active:
- "ssh-rsa etc"
admin: yes

- username: user2
comment: "User 2"
group: users
groups: deployer
keys:
active:
- "ssh-rsa etc"
hosts:
user:
- host1
- host2
deployer:
- host3


I want to execute a task only if inventory_hostname is into any of hosts lists (user, deployer, others ...).



I tried this:



- name: Create users
user:
name: " item.username "
comment: " default('User item.username') "
password: " item.password "
state: " default('present') "
shell: " item.shell "
group: " item.group "
with_items: ' users '
when: item.username is defined and ((item.admin is defined and item.admin == True) or (item.hosts is defined and item.hosts.user is defined and inventory_hostname in item.hosts.user)


It works for user1 (which have admin enabled) but not for user2 (if this play is executed on host1 which is included into user2's hosts.user list).
