Hi.

We are using the *puppetlabs/accounts* module to setup user accounts and 
SSH keys but finds it lacking.
We are using *Hiera* and have divided users up by role, type of machine and 
region/environment. The issue here is that if a user should exist on 
multiple groups of machines, but not in others, we *have to repeat the 
entire definition;* password, groups, ssh-key, etc. for every "group" of 
users. Multiple places to change things.
I had expected it to have two concepts:

   - List of account definitions (passwords, ssh-keys, groups, etc)
   - List of accounts to be applied to a target (with the possibility to 
   override properties)


*Definitions*
accounts::users:
  joe:
    password: '$6......'
    sshkeys: - 'ssh-rsa ... [email protected]'
  sally:
    password: '$6......'
    sshkeys: - 'ssh-rsa ... [email protected]' 

*Declare/Apply*
*(*hieradata/accounts/DBA.yaml)
accounts::user_list:
  joe:
  sally:

*(*hieradata/accounts/paymentservice.yaml)
accounts::user_list:
  joe:

Is this possible?
Is it possible using Hiera?
What am I missing?
