09/30/2022, 1:16 PMUsers on Server (local accounts) can be managed using puppetlabs-accounts module (https://forge.puppet.com/modules/puppetlabs/accounts), users within Puppet Enterprise console are not normal shell users. Most customers use the LDAP integration in PE or the rbac_user from pltraining-rbac module (https://forge.puppet.com/modules/pltraining/rbac)

09/30/2022, 3:03 PMInteractive user management is not necessarily a best use case for Puppet, to be quite honest. IF you have LDAP/AD or some other actual user management solution available to you, you are better off leveraging that and then letting Puppet manage your LDAP/AD integration (such as managing SSSD on Linux).

09/30/2022, 3:04 PMManaging passwords for users is difficult and not user friendly, specifically. Managing non-interactive/application/system accounts, on the other hand, is a good use case.

09/30/2022, 3:57 PMWe use Code manager with gitlab for code. What I was saying is using hiera on gitlab server to add and remove system users on managed linux nodes. Not to manage gitlab access
I saw module on puppet forge. Now I wonder if its better to manager user on gitlab using hiera file or use classification on puppet console
