Thanks for the help all. Maybe I'm approaching this in the wrong way but
the example puts all users on each box. I'm trying to do something like:
users_common = admin1, admin2
server1 = users_common + user1
server2 = users_common
server3 = users_common + user1, user3
The goal is to not have to list the admin users in each host.yaml file, but
include them.
>From what I gather hiera doesn't allow:
sever1.yaml
include users_common
server1_users:
user1:
ensure: present
home: /home/user1
Thanks,
Kent
