Github user rconline commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/zeppelin/pull/1236 @felixcheung i think this will continue to remain a problem, till the time we allow all user roles to setup/modify these permissions. Unless we can recognize and separate this as an admin (superuser) action, this seems okay to me. There will be cases when the LDAP user id's will end up in zeppelin/POSIX systems as 'a1890xx', based upon conversion rules, when users who setup these permissions will find it very hard to use. Hence for now, showing all users is a reasonable approach.
