I came to this through a reference on ansible/proposals#131 - i'm not sure if this is what I'm looking for? Where is the current documentation?

@clayg there is no specific documentation, you can just execute them like you execute any other module with adhoc: ansible -m include_role -a 'name=rolname' myhosts

[ChristianCiach]

This worked with Ansible 2.7, but it broken with 2.8.0 for me:

$ ansible all -i hosts.yml -m include_role -a "name=myrole"

ERROR! 'async_val' is not a valid attribute for a IncludeRole

The error appears to be in 'None': line 0, column 0, but may
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.

(could not open file to display line)
