I've been off for over a week, so I just noticed you never got an answer to
this question. The variables are filled out at the time the virtual resource
is defined, not at the time it's realized.
You might be able to do something like:
realize User[kenneth]
User[kenneth] {
groups => $server_type ? {
typeA => "wheel",
default => undef,
}
}
to realize it the way you want. Haven't tried anything like that though.
Maybe someone else can comment if it works.
