Good morning,

I have a question concerning puppet and modifying user data. I am on Mac OS X 10.8.5 with puppet 3.4.2.
I would like to run a manifest with the following content:

file { "/Users/${id}/Desktop/testfile":
    ensure     => file,
}
file { "/usr/testfile":
    ensure     => file,
}

For this manifest you need root access and you have to know the current logged in user. But the fact $id is, of course, "root" because I have to run this manifest as root.

So how can I get the current logged in user as a variable?

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards.
Robert
