Normally, all users and groups are declared in NixOS.

Users (actually sysadmins) can specify a list in the ‘users.extraUsers’
attribute, in their ‘configuration.nix’.  Likewise, services provided by
NixOS can declare users/groups; for instance, the Avahi service declares
that it wants an ‘avahi’ user and group, so that ‘avahi-daemon’ can run
under that user.

Does that answer your question?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
