So you want to execute the role only for members of webserver group?

If so you can add the following condition:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;when: "'webserver' in group\_names"

It is not clear to me what you want to achieve. How does your role look like?

i need to test each time each ip address alone in another server, therefore i need to copy each ip address in webservers group in file and sen this file to server distant for test it  
the test treatment = role

1- copy the primary ip and send the file in testing server  
2- execute roles for testing  
3- copy the seconde in the same file ip and send it in testing server  
4- execute the same role for testing

Thank you
