It depends on the Group provider, which usually depends on operating system. If you are using the default Group provider for AIX, OS X, or Windows, then group membership is managed as an attribute of the group instead of the user. In those cases you can manage the group in question and use its 'members' property to achieve your end. Otherwise, group membership is managed as a property of Users, ergo you cannot manage it (directly) if you do not manage the users in question. Your only options in that case are an Exec or a custom Group provider. John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
