"Hiera job" is not a meaningful term.  Hiera's job is to provide data (as 
specified by you) to the catalog builder.  It has no control over how or 
whether any particular data are used to build catalogs.  It is your Puppet 
manifests that play the central role in how your machines are managed.

Since you feel the need to redact the name of the module with which you are 
using the data, I suppose that it's a local one.  We really can't say what 
it expects or requires.

I can, however, observe that your Hiera data appear to be providing two 
different mappings for the same key.  That's not valid YAML.  Perhaps you 
wanted the value associated with that key to be an array of strings; that 
could be spelled like this:

XXXXX::os::auth::access:
  - '+ : USERACCOUNT : ALL'
  - '- :ALL EXCEPT root wheel jboss GGGGG XXXXX-wheel XXXXX-local-it 
XXXXX-net-admin XXXXX-app-admin XXXXX-app-support : ALL EXCEPT LOCAL'

That tells us that the agent is applying a catalog that contains the named 
resources, and not much else.  Inasmuch as that could be a cached catalog, 
it doesn't even tell us whether catalog building succeeded on the master.  
If catalog building did succeed, it tells us nothing about how the Hiera 
data were used.

If a YAML syntax correction does not solve the problem for you, then we'll 
probably need to see the relevant parts or your manifests in order to 
render any assistance.
