I already have tasks for creating users, groups, authorized_keys, etc. from 
the existing lists of users, by setting a variable that's linked to each of 
those.

What I want to do is have group_vars for an inventory that lists which 
groups I want added to servers. And then another inventory might have other 
group_vars where the groups are different. I want to define all users and 
what groups they're in in users.yml, and then simply specify which groups 
get different access to servers in my inventory by creating my user_groups 
list in a group_var.

in group_vars/users.yml:

devs:
  - "{{ ronda }}"
  - "{{ abe }}"
  - "{{ kathy }}"

sysadmins:
  - "{{ york }}"
  - "{{ kathy }}"
  - "{{ george }}"

managers:
  - "{{ brown }}"
  - "{{ lee }}"

ronda:
  - { name: "ronda", fullname: "Ronda", uid: "1001", gid: "1001", state: 
"present", remove: "no", ssh_key: "../ssh_keys/ronda.pub" }
etc..


in inventory/group_vars/single-environment.yml:

user_groups:
  - devs
  - sysadmins
  - managers

There could be another file in inventory/group_vars/second-environment.yml 
that defines user_groups differently:

user_groups:
  - sysadmins



Is this possible, at all? I feel like I should be able to reference this 
doing something like user_groups[item.name], user_groups[item.fullname], 
user_groups[uid], etc. I know that method isn't possible, but, there's 
gotta' be a way?
