I’m trying out kopia and running the server mode instead of the kopiaui by `kopia server start --ui` and with a user added via `kopia server user add ...`. Just wondering where the config files for the server user & acl settings are located? Doesn’t seem to be in `~/Library/Application Support/kopia`.

Thanks!

(for anyone curious like me)

Usernames and hashed passwords are saved directly into the repository, just like normal backups and policies.
