You can retrieve members of a group using the `getent` module:
http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/getent_module.html
Such as:
- getent: database=group split=':' key=sudo
register: sudo_users
- debug: var=sudo_users.getent_group.sudo[3]
The output should be a comma separated list. You could make this an actual
python list using `sudo_users.getent_group.sudo[3].split(',')`
