One thing you could do would be to create a custom fact that would
harvest those groups that are present and that you need to add to your
users. (I can't help you too much with how to implement this, though,
since my ruby is at the level of baby steps)
In your manifests, you would then have to split the string returned by
the fact into an array and add this array to your static list of groups.
