Hey!  
I’m trying to use inventory folders with imbedded group\_vars to target specific staging and production hosts, more specifically the one recommended by Ansible [here](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/2.8/user_guide/playbooks_best_practices.html#alternative-directory-layout).  
It seems that when using a dynamic inventory (sourced from Microsoft Azure Resource Manager) it doesn’t load the inventory folder with the same name. AWX seems to load a tmp folder that was generated dynamically (i.e. _Parsed /tmp/bwrap\_479\_raoyvd7d/awx\_479\_8gb1ngkc/tmp517iwm5q inventory source with script plugin)_.  
How can I accomplish this with AWX? I don’t really want to have to manage a static inventory to have to set this up.  
Thanks,

Yohan
