Enabling this option causes the secret to be decrypted/installed before users and groups are created.
This can be used to retrieve user's passwords.
Setting this option moves the secret to /run/secrets-for-users and disallows setting owner and group to anything else than root.
This option determines when the secret will be decrypted and deployed to the target machine.
By setting this to `activation`, the secret will be deployed prior to running `nixos-rebuild` or `nixos-install`.
By setting this to `user`, the secret will be deployed prior to users and groups are created, allowing
users' passwords to be managed by vars. The secret will be stored in `/run/secrets-for-users` and `owner` and `group` must be `root`.
