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