I've never tried this but I would think you could just use the hosts
option in the the parent playbook?
Something like:
- hosts: all
roles:
- generate_groups # generates group1, group2, etc
- hosts: group1
roles:
- do_something_with_a_group
Otherwise you might try:
- hosts: all
roles:
- { role:do_something_with_a_group, when: inventory_host in
groups["group1"] }
