template resource doesn't do anything for user

[dsisnero]

want to write a template on osx where I runtime script as the current user, not sudo user.
I try to do this template
template "/etc/ssh/sshd_config" do
user "root"
source "templates/sshd_config.erb"
owner "root"
group "root"
mode "644"
variables(
port: ssh_server_config[:port] || 22,
permit_root_login: ssh_server_config[:permit_root_login] || "without-password",
password_authentication: password_authentication_setting,
pubkey_authentication: ssh_server_config[:pubkey_authentication] || "yes",
permit_empty_passwords: ssh_server_config[:permit_empty_passwords] || "no",
challenge_response_authentication: ssh_server_config[:challenge_response_authentication] || "no",
use_pam: ssh_server_config[:use_pam] || "yes",
allow_users: ssh_server_config[:allow_users] || user,
x11_forwarding: ssh_server_config[:x11_forwarding] || "no",
max_auth_tries: ssh_server_config[:max_auth_tries] || 3,
max_sessions: ssh_server_config[:max_sessions] || 10,
client_alive_interval: ssh_server_config[:client_alive_interval] || 300,
client_alive_count_max: ssh_server_config[:client_alive_count_max] || 3
)
end

with and without the user "root" attribute but it gives me
