module: import_role
short_description: Import a role into a play
description:
     - Mostly like the `roles:` keyword this action loads a role, but it allows you to control when the tasks run in between other playbook tasks.
     - Most keywords, loops and conditionals will not be applied to this action, but to the imported tasks instead.
       If you want the opposite behaviour, use M(include_role) instead.
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 tasks/ directory."
    required: False
    default: 'main'

  defaults_from:
    description:
      - "File to load from a Role's defaults/ directory."
    required: False

  allow_duplicates:
    description:
      - Overrides the role's metadata setting to allow using a role more than once with the same parameters.
    required: False
    default: True
  private:
    description:
      - If True the variables from defaults/ and vars/ in a role will not be made available to the rest of the play.
    default: None
notes:
    - Handlers are made available to the whole play.
