Error: UID 900 already exists, use allowdupe to force user creation

Error: /Stage[main]/Localusers::Identities/User[user1]/groups: change from  to 'group1,group2' failed: UID 900 already exists, use allowdupe to force user creation

So far I have found two issues.

1) lusermod does not support -G

# lusermod --help

Usage: lusermod [OPTION...] user

  -i, --interactive              prompt for all information

  -c, --gecos=STRING             GECOS information

  -d, --directory=STRING         home directory

  -m, --movedirectory            move home directory contents

  -s, --shell=STRING             set shell for user

  -u, --uid=NUM                  set UID for user

  -g, --gid=NUM                  set primary GID for user

  -l, --login=STRING             change login name for user

  -P, --plainpassword=STRING     plaintext password for the user

  --telephonenumber=STRING       set telephone number for user

Help options:

  -?, --help                     Show this help message

  --usage                        Display brief usage message

2) the new code will not "modify" the user's groups in /etc/group because the user already exists.
