Solution

systemd-sysusers — Create system users and groups. If the config file is not specified, files in the sysusers.d directories are used. More information: <https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/systemd-sysusers.html>.

Create users and groups from a specific configuration file:
systemd-sysusers {{path/to/file}}


Process configuration files and print what would be done without actually doing anything:
systemd-sysusers --dry-run {{path/to/file}}


Print the contents of all configuration files (before each file, its name is printed as a comment):
systemd-sysusers --cat-config

systemd-sysusers
