user { 'Create user foo': name => 'foo' ensure => present, shell => '/bin/bash', home => '/home/foo', }
Add secondary group 'bar' to user 'foo'
user { 'Create user foo': name => 'foo' groups => 'bar', }
Set password for user 'foo'
First, generate password hash using openssl command # openssl passwd -1 Password: Verifying - Password: $1$G9csL/dp$ji1ADlvhOhVpjVMl9Fgai/ Second, add the password hash in puppet configuration user { 'Set password ': user => 'foo', password => '$1$G9csL/dp$ji1ADlvhOhVpjVMl9Fgai/', }
Delete user 'foo'
user { 'Create user foo': name => 'foo' ensure => absent, }
