That's been a great help.
I have been able to use the config you presented to create user's defined
in Hiera. I am just trying to expand upon that.
Currently I do a:
---
users:
jane.doe
The value 'jane.doe' is obviously passed to the $title variable. Is it
possible to pass a second variable into the same loop in order to set
something else unique to each user?
Additionally can this be adapted to remove users from certain servers via
Hiera at all? You mention 'Resources meta-resource' but I cannot see the
connection if any.
