The original posting tried it like this:
class users {
$system_users = hiera('system_users')
$system_groups = hiera('system_groups')
create_resources("@users::mkuser",$system_users)
create_resources("@users::mkgroup",$system_groups)
} # class users
... and puppet screamed "could not create resource of unknown type
@users::mkuser"
I can certainly try that and see what happens.
Thanks.
