From looking at kern_credential.c, all I can think of is doing
kauth_cred_guid2gid() first and assuming it is a group, if it succeeds. (Which won't work if a given guid_t represents both a gid and uid.) Any suggestions on how to handle this? GUIDs are globally unique IDs; it is a directory service administration error to have a GUID that maps to more than one entity. Group first is a sensible policy; it's reasonable to expect that ACL entries will tend to indirect through role groups than directly reference users. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
