540:

Looks good! The only attributes I am concerned about are special IPA attributes:

- ipauniqueid
- ipasshpubkey
- ipauserauthtype
- userclass

I personally do not think they should be included in POSIX attributes
permissions, they are far from POSIX definition...

What about creating one more permission "System: Read User IPA Attributes" as
these are specific to FreeIPA use and allowing that permission for all
authenticated users?

541, 542:
ACK for both, works fine in both new installation and upgrade.
