Puppet users - Oct 2011 - Adding already defined users to a group when its created

I saw a thread on puppet users with the subject ''Adding already
defined users to a group when its created'' which suggests that the
only way to add a user to more groups, when extra classes are included
which require it, is to have the user definition change depending on
which classes are defined.

That''s fine when building new machines, but what about when upgrading
existing ones?

I have a class which defines a type of machine to use as a virtual for
developers.  If I change something I don''t want to have to rebuild all
of those virtuals.  In this case I just made the decisions to allow
the specific developer which ''owns'' the vm they''re
working on to join
the admins group so have sudo access to their vm.  The vm''s are all up
and running and ideally I just want to call usermod and set the groups
that the user should be in, to add them to the admin group, as part of
the node config for each specific vm.

Any way to do that in puppet?
