You could use environments, e.g. (in pseudocode):

case environment

when 'dev' or 'qa'

  user vagrant do
    ...

  end

  ...

when 'staging' or 'prod'
  ...

end

Or if dev is provisioned by Vagrant on workstations but the other environments live on servers, surely you can find a way for your node to identify that it's provisioned by Vagrant, and only manage the vagrant user when the VM is backed by Vagrant.
https://github.com/sethvargo/chef-sugar adds some capabilities that you might find helpful.

Hi tayworm,

Thank you for taking a look at my issue.  My concern with using the sudo lwrp is that I will then have the vagrant user in my recipe, based on my current understanding.  I need the vagrant user in development and intesting, but I don't need the vagrant user in staging and in production.  Is there a way to have the vagrant user setup be decoupled from how the other users are set up?  Thank you again.

Jimmy

A better way to use the cookbook would be to create files in sudoers.d for each entry. https://github.com/opscode-cookbooks/sudo#lwrp

Hi,

I am trying to figure out how best to use the sudo cookbook.  My cookbook is called masterwrap.

Berkesfile:

source "https://supermarket.chef.io"

metadata

masterwrap/metadata.rb:

name             'masterwrap'
maintainer       'The Authors'
maintainer_email '
 
 " target="_blank">
 '
license          'all_rights'
description      'Installs/Configures masterwrap'
long_description 'Installs/Configures masterwrap'
version          '0.1.0'

depends 'git', '~> 4.1.0'
depends 'sudo', '~> 2.7.1'
depends 'users', '~> 1.8.0'

masterwrap/recipes/default.rb:

#
# Cookbook Name:: masterwrap
# Recipe:: default
#
# Copyright (c) 2015 The Authors, All Rights Reserved.

include_recipe 'git'
include_recipe 'masterwrap::users'

masterwrap/recipes/users.rb:

#
# Cookbook Name:: masterwrap
# Recipe:: users
#
# Copyright (c) 2015 The Authors, All Rights Reserved.

include_recipe 'sudo'
include_recipe 'users'

%w(deploy sysadmin).each do |group|
  users_manage group do
    data_bag 'users'
    action [ :remove, :create ]
  end
end

sudo 'sysadmin' do
  group '%sysadmin'
  nopasswd false
end

If I converge at this point, my vagrant user would stop having passwordless sudo access.  To make sure that does not happen, I have the following masterwrap/.kitchen.yml file:

---
driver:
  name: vagrant

provisioner:
  name: chef_zero

platforms:
  - name: ubuntu1404
    driver:
      box: ubuntu/trusty64
      box_url: ubuntu/trusty64
    attributes:
      authorization:
        sudo:
          users: ['vagrant']
          passwordless: true
          include_sudoers_d: true

suites:
  - name: default
    data_bags_path: 'test/fixtures/data_bags'
    run_list:
      - recipe[masterwrap::default]
    attributes:

The problem is that I DO want a password prompt for my sudo access for non-vagrant users, but I am not sure how to go about achieving that.  Here is my current /etc/sudoers file after the converge:

# This file is managed by Chef.

# Do NOT modify this file directly.

Defaults      !lecture,tty_tickets,!fqdn

# User privilege specification

root          ALL=(ALL) ALL

vagrant ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL

# Members of the group 'sysadmin' may gain root privileges

%sysadmin ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL

===

Given the node's structure, I think the sudo cookbook assumes everyone who is granted sudo access via the cookbook will want the same setting for passwordless, which is not the desired outcome in my case.  Is there a way around this assumption or a better way for me to use the sudo cookbook?  Thank you for your help.

Sincerely,

Jimmy
