Description

When sharing a credential with LDAP users, the sharing info does not display the actual user/account name, but nextcloud's internal UID, which makes this very cumbersone in a LDAP environment.

It actually looks like this:

admin -> local user
1125a389-6f4c-4c5a-8b1d-8f3ac86e738c -> LDAP user

This will make it quite difficult to keep up with one's shared credentials, when running in larger setup.

Research direction

Reproduce the credential-sharing view with a local user and an LDAP user, then trace where the shared-user identifier is rendered. No files or tests are named in the issue; done means the view shows the LDAP account name instead of its internal UID without changing local-user display.
