You will benefit from adjusting your thinking to Puppet's model. In
particular, Puppet's DSL is not a scripting language, so you generally want
to avoid thinking in terms of what you want *Puppet* to *do*. Instead,
your objective in Puppet DSL is to model the state you want *the target
machine* to *be* in.
With that said, yes, there is probably a better way. Puppet provides the
User resource type with which to model system users and their properties.
To model (only) the requirement that the specified user has the specified
group as his primary group, you could write this:
user { $usr:
group => $newGroup
}
There is much more to say on the subject, but the Puppet documentation is a
better way to start. In particular, I advise you to read through the
language reference (chapter "The Puppet Language" at
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/3.5/reference/), and to at least skim the
list of built-in resource types and functions (
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/3.5.latest/type.html and
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/3.5.latest/function.html).
