If <option>users.mutableUsers</option> is enabled (the default), changes
|
||
made to the declaration of a user or group will be correctly realised when
|
||
running <command>nixos-rebuild</command>. For instance, removing a user
|
||
specification from <filename>configuration.nix</filename> will cause the
|
||
actual user account to be deleted. If <option>users.mutableUsers</option>
|
||
is disabled, it is no longer necessary to specify UIDs or GIDs; if
|
||
omitted, they are allocated dynamically.
