> when synchronizing external identities into the oak repository the users/groups are marked with a rep:externalId property but are otherwise accessible through the repository's user management API.
> today this means that synced external identities can be modified like local users/groups if the editing session has sufficient permission to do so.
> the aim of the improvement request is to optionally mark synced identities as 'protected' which would only allow system internal tasks (i.e. update upon re-sync) to write those external users/groups but prevent updates of properties or member information through regular JCR sessions. to discuss if removal of these external users should still be permitted.
> cc: [~insuafer] as we discussed this improvement in a private conversation.
