@ -89,3 +89,18 @@ A user can be deleted using `userdel`:
The flag `-r` deletes the user's home directory. Accounts can be
modified using `usermod`. Unix groups can be managed using `groupadd`,
`groupmod` and `groupdel`.
## Create users and groups with `systemd-sysusers` {#sec-systemd-sysusers}
::: {.note}
This is experimental.
:::
Instead of using a custom perl script to create users and groups, you can use
systemd-sysusers:
```nix
systemd.sysusers.enable = true;
```
The primary benefit of this is to remove a dependency on perl.
