We use puppet, and Im trying to come up with "code" that will create two user 
accounts with a shared groiup ID
eg 
user1 with UID 1000user 2 with UID 1001
but I would like them BOTH to share the GID of 2000
I've tried the following
accounts::groups:    jointgroup:        gid: '2000'
accounts::users:
    user1:        uid: '1000'        gid: '2000'        home: '/home/user1'     
   shell: '/bin/bash'        password: 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'
    user2:        uid: '1001'        gid: '200'        home: '/home/user2'      
  shell: '/bin/bash'        password: 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'
But when I trfy and use this puppet agent -tv complains when trying to create 
user2 that GID 2000 is slready used .

how may I manage this?

I haven't used the "allowdupe" option, so I don't know if it works for GIDs, but supposedly this works:

  user { 'user1':
    uid => 1000, gid => 2000, ...,
    allowdupe => true
  }

  user { 'user2':
    uid => 1001, gid => 2000, ...,
    allowdupe => true
  }

In YAML-ese, I guess you'd just add

accounts::users:
  user1:
    allowdupe: 'true'
