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.
