Unpriveleged users questions

Why do users seem to only have even ids?

Is there a more convenient way of listing or finding an unprivileged user,
other than incrementing id in
https://rt.cambenergy.org/Admin/Users/Modify.html?id=36 ?
Last I read in the archives, the answer was unfortunately “no. by design”

Why does the user id space seem to be sparsely populated (and many of them
blank)?
Granted, I’ve been doing a fair bit of testing, but I use the same requestor
repeatedly, and yet my uids
are already in the mid 100s on a non-production machine.

Please do not crosspost to rt-users and rt-devel. Almost everyone on
rt-devel is also on rt-users.

Because the sequence number is coming from the Principals table

Okay. I was not sure, as that is not always the case for various software
communities,
and the questions posed seemed to span:

  • for general discussion of the use of RT, basic troubleshooting, sharing of
    tips, etc.
  • for discussion of modifying RT’s codebase yourself or deep technical
    discussions about RT.

though admittedly leaning toward dev.

Oh, okay. Sorry. The previous threads I read implied that one did not have
ready access to
non-privileged users… Perhaps I mixed things up and that was just getting
a listing of them,
which would also be useful.

So, best as I’m able to puzzle our from Principal.pm, wiki:ObjectModel and
Essentials,
you mean to say that (nearly) all objects live in a single number space?

No, just Users and Groups.

Nope, principals have own unique set of ids, but each principal object
represent a group, user or another object (in theory, for example once
I wanted to implement networks based ACLs using this feature, however
lost fun). All these objects (principal can represent) have id equal
to id of its principal object. It’s just an coincident that all your
users have odd ids.
