Description

Currently we install an integrity check around the configured user-group-provider and we go through every user and every group and make sure no other user or group exist with the same name, so you can't have a user named "nifi" and a group named "nifi". This is a common scenario, especially with a provider like the ShellUserGroupProvider which gets users and groups from the OS.
