Neither of the settings from "Description" "Chapter 24. Files (...) nix.conf — Nix configuration file" hold

[573]

Describe the bug

Applying any of the settings from https://archive.vn/9SiO8#description-42 and restarting nix-daemon on a multi-user nix install (non-NixOS machine) leads to the same warnings:

warning: ignoring the user-specified setting 'trusted-users', because it is a restricted setting and you are not a trusted user

The only settings when ought to be effective have to go in the global /etc/nix/nix.conf file.

Example:
Edit: Using a simple example.
I want to build a derivation:

nix-build --no-out-link '<nixpkgs>' -A hello

Steps To Reproduce

My user is in group nix-users and I add trusted-users = @nix-users to ~/.config/nix/nix.conf while XDG_CONFIG_HOME is not set (NIX_CONF_DIR is also not set). Then I restart nix-daemon service.

Expected behavior

Example should build w/o warnings as my user actually should be trusted user according to manual.

nix-env --version output

nix-env (Nix) 2.3.8
