   After discussion in https://github.com/apache/airflow/discussions/18290 and similar stack overflow issue here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/69343651/create-user-with-ldap-authentification-in-airflow-2-1-4 - I think we should fix it @BasPH  WDYT? 
   
   The explanation is that some users who would not like to use automated registration of the users from LDAP would like to have bigger control over who is using airlfow and be able to manage them via AIrflow UI. Authentication/credential verificatio still comes from the LDAP. but then the list of users allowed to login is kept in the Airflow DB. That makes sense if you have only a small group of people to access Airflow, but you do not want to synchronize roles nor 'group' allocation from centralized LDAP, but you still want to synchronize the credentials. Seems like a perfectly justified case.
   
   @jhtimmins  - I think it falls into the right set of permissions in Airlfow that could be added - I am not too familiar with that part of Airflow but maybe it can be updated for Airflow 2.2 https://github.com/apache/airflow/discussions/18290#discussioncomment-1378607 WDYT?
