cron: users_allow -> overwrite in module manifest (without hiera)

[linuxmail]

Hello,

we have a classical module with a manifest and I try to add a user for users_allow, but I have a bit trouble to get it working, without hiera (role.yaml).

In our base class, we call the cron class with some defaults, like manage allow/deny. In our common.yaml, I added the user root, for allowed crons, but now I want to add it also to our module, like:

   class cron::users_allow inherits cron {
      class { cron: users_allow => ['egg'] }
   }

but, it won't work. It adds only the user "root" from the common.yaml and that's it. I don't want to add it to the role, because this option fits better to our module.

Any suggestions, what I have done wrong ?
