Don't prompt a user for the sudo password

Help
2

There’s security.sudo.wheelNeedsPassword = false; if you want all users in group wheel to never type a password.

If you only want to apply NOPASSWD to myusername, then you probably want to use security.sudo.extraRules.

security.sudo.extraRules = [
  { users = [ "myusername" ];
    options = [ "NOPASSWD" ];
  }
];

I’m not sure if security.sudo.extraRules will merge with an existing list, or overwrite. Hopefully someone with better knowledge can clarify.
