How to delete users from groups ?

[eduardo]

Dears all,

I'm trying update user's membership group deleting users from some
groups.
To do it i took exec way doing :

exec { "deluser ${username} ${group}":

I'm thinking might be there is more elegant solution without using
exec type .

Is there another way to do it ?.

Thanks in advanced.
eduardo.

Hi eduardo,

 

  Is there another way to do it ?.

user { "$username":

  ensure => present,

  key_membership => inclusive,

  groups => ['all', 'groups', 'except', '$group'], # full listing of all groups $username belongs to

}

or

group { "$group",

  ensure => present,

  attribute_membership => inclusive,

  members => ['all', 'members', 'except', '$username'], # full listing of all members of $group

}

Cheers,

Paul

Hi Paul, thanks you for your suggestion.

I wrote key_membership => inclusive in user type, but the groups were
not updated.

Having user's membership into array variable $groups i did :


user { $username:
...
key_membership => inclusive,
groups => [$groups]
}

am i missing something ?

I have puppet version 2.7.1.

Hi Paul, I found note in http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/7241.
So I can do it using membership => inclusive (instead of
key_membership)

I appreciate your help.

eduardo.

You're right, I took a too quick look at http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/latest/type.html
