I found this http://groups.google.com/group/puppe...c821ba177626cb its quite the similar thing i want to accomplish, but since im quite new to puppet, i dont really get the users to be installed on the the nodes, where should i decleare what nodes the user should be installed to?

Well conventionally nodes are defined in the nodes.pp file, and the appropriate node would probably inherit from a template of a node which includes that class.

Personally for the level of flexibility, I use puppet dashboard with ENC configured. This basically means I have a web dashboard within which I can easily assign and deassign various classes from nodes trivially.
