You should generally provide your full task, so I'm going to take a guess
here.

I am pretty sure the problem is that you are using `with_items: users`
also.  The problem is that `when` statements are evaluated *after*
`with_items`, since the `when` statement is evaluated per item in the loop.

[ansible-project] when: var is defined deprecated?

[pixel fairy]

using ansible 2.1.1.0

running a task with 'when: users is defined' works fine for hosts that have 
that variable. for hosts that dont, the play still runs, but gives a 
warning that in the future, an undefined variable will be a fatal error. is 
there another way of running tasks based on the existence of a given var?
