If you specify user SSH keys as a list of keys, you can use them like this
using *with_subelements*:
- name: User SSH keys
authorized_key: user="{{ item.0.username }}" key="{{ item.1 }}"
when: item.0.username in users_add
with_subelements:
- users
- ssh_key
This works for me without a problem. Just modify the when: condition to be
like your one.
