You are running into a common misconception of people new to Puppet. A
define is not some sort of function. You don't "run" defines. Puppet
is a declarative language, you are trying to use it like an imperative
language, and you will be fighting the tool the whole way.
What features do you want that the predefined types don't support?
Maybe we can help you to understand the Puppet Way to do what you want
to do. In this example you included, I don't see you getting any
features that are unsupported by Puppet users/groups.
