Ran into this issue with a fresh WMCS instance when trying to apply syslog::centralserver role. Note we've ran into this issue before in T220050: shell user conflict in cloud realm although I'm not sure about the resolution. Issuing a local addgroup bird does solve the problem for me in WMCS. Perhaps a workaround would be to puppetize said addgroup in WMCS only (not ideal, but would work)
