I never used that one but puppet has a util function for that purpose
(asuser defined in util/suidmanager.rb). This SHOULD work:

  Puppet::Util::SUIDManager.asuser(myuid, mygid) do
    hostmanager '-s', @resource[:name],
      '-r', @resource[:release], '--install'
  end

You should also test @resource[:release].nil? because the user might not
provide every parameter. Or you should define a default value.
