Description

AMBARI-12263 adds support for PAM as authentication mechanism for accessing Ambari UI/REST.

Since a new column group_type has been added for groups, the UI will display labels for group type and enable/disable group delete/add member functionality based on the group_type instead of the ldap_group flag.
The user_type will be used to determine if the user can be deleted or if the user's password can be changed.
