Example Playbook

Including an example of how to use your role (for instance, with variables passed in as parameters) is always nice for users too:

- hosts: your_server
  vars_files:
    - vars/main.yml
  roles:
    - stancel.remove_website_user_access 

or just pass the variables in the playbook

- hosts: your_server 
  vars:
    setup_website_user_access_list:
      - {
          name: 'mysite'
        }
  roles:
    - stancel.remove_website_user_access
