Saltstack load pillar in a for loop - templates

Question

I am developing a automatic proftd installation whit Salt, i wont to get the ftp users from a template but I cant get work the pillar, i initialized the pillar whit the users data and call it into a for loop, but you don't get the pillar user data in the loop.
When i make salt-call pillar.get ftpusers in the minion, the response is:
local:
This is my pillar ftpusers.sls:
ftp-server.ftpusers:
user:
- user: user
- passhash: j2k3hk134123l1234ljh!"·$ser
- uuid: 1001
- guid: 1001
- home: /srv/ftp/user
- shel: /bin/false
And this is the for loop:
{% for users in pillar.get('ftpusers', {}).items() %}
/srv/herma-ftp/.ftpusers:
file.managed:
- user: root
- group: root
- mode: 444
- contents:'{{ user }}:{{ args['passhash'] }}:{{args['uuid'] }}:{{ args['guid'] }}::{{ args['home'] }}:{{ args['shel'] }}'
- require:
- file: /srv/herma-ftp
/srv/herma-ftp/{{user}}:
file.directory:
- user: nobody
- group: nobody
- dir_mode: 775
- makedirs: True
- require:
- file: /srv/herma-ftp
- watch:
- file: /srv/herma-ftp
module.run:
- name: file.set_selinux_context
- path: {{ args['home']}}
- type: public_content_t
- unless:
- stat -c %C {{ args['home'] }} |grep -q public_content_t
{% endfor %}
When I make in the minion
salt-call -l debug state.sls herma-ftp-server saltenv=My-enviroment test=True
Don't expect this for because don't can get the pillar data.

Your loop should also look like:
{% for user, args in pillar.get('ftpusers', {}).items() %}
Also, contents argument for a file.managed doesn't support templating. What you need to do is move /srv/herma-ftp/.ftpusers state outside of the loop, and make the loop inside the file template. The final layout of your state should look like:
/srv/herma-ftp/.ftpusers
file.managed:
source: salt://ftpserver/dot.ftpusers
template: jinja
...
...
{% for user, args in pillar.get('ftpusers', {}).items() %}
/srv/herma-ftp/{{user}}:
file.managed:
...
{% endfor %}
And your ftpserver/dot.ftpusers would look like:
{% for user, args in pillar.get('ftpusers', {}).items() %}
{{ user }}:{{ args['passhash'] }}:{{args['uuid'] }}:{{ args['guid'] }}::{{ args['home'] }}:{{ args['shel'] }}
{% endfor %}
