local action runs the command on the local server  not on the servers you specify in hosts parameter   Change your  Execute the script  task to  - name  Execute the script   command  sh  home test user test sh   and it should do it   You don t need to repeat sudo in the command line because you have defined it already in the playbook   According to Ansible Intro to Playbooks user parameter was renamed to remote user in Ansible 1 4 so you should change it  too  remote user  test user   So  the playbook will become   --- - name  Transfer and execute a script    hosts  server   remote user  test user   sudo  yes   tasks       - name  Transfer the script        copy  src test sh dest  home test user mode 0777       - name  Execute the script        command  sh  home test user test sh
