This approach requires to keep all the users in *.pp files.
Currently we keep users in yaml file:
accounts::users::accounts:
sysadmin:
ensure: present
home: /home/sysadmin
managehome: "true"
shell: /bin/bash
uid: 4000
gid: sysadmin
comment: Systems Admin
etc
and create them using create_resource. Is it possible to use hiera to
associate all the users to particular servers ?
