Replying myself just to be clear, when I say UUID I do not mean the RFC definition of it, just the english one: Unique User IDentifier. It can be anything, even an email address for what I care. Any string that can be unique will do, it only needs to be abstract as it should be made possible to represent anything as an Identity: A user, a group, a machine, a service, a process, an abstract concept like "Authenticated user", or "everyone" too in theory.
