ACL editor: show identity-less principals (service accounts)#691
Merged
Conversation
The principal list came from the Auth service's identity table, so a principal with no kerberos/sparkplug identity - which is what service-setup now creates for OIDC service accounts - could hold grants but never appeared in the editor, making it impossible to grant to a wall display's principal from the UI. Union in the members of the ConfigDB Principal class, shown with a muted 'No identity' placeholder, and fall back to the principal's name in group-removal messages.

Summary
The ACL editor's principal list was built from
auth.list_principals(), which only returns principals holding an identity record (kerberos/sparkplug). The F+ principals service-setup creates for OIDC service accounts (#688) deliberately have no identity, so they could hold grants but were invisible in the editor - there was no way to grant a wall display its MQTT read permission from the UI.usePrincipalStoreunions in the members of the ConfigDB Principal class (recursive membership, so all principals are covered); identity-less ones getkerberos: null.principal.uuidvia the principal's Permissions tab, which now simply becomes reachable for service accounts.How to test
