+# Manage user's ssh_authorized_keys
+This works by passing the ssh::keys hash to the ssh_authorized_keys type with create_resources(). Because of this, you may specify any valid parameter for ssh_authorized_key. See the [Type Reference](http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/stable/type.html#ssh_authorized_key) for a complete list.

+Push authorized key "root_for_userX" and remove key "root_for_userY" through Hiera.
