Error creating user when not installing macOS

Issue #258 closed

A workflow that does not install macOS at all but includes packages to install and a user account to create will save as valid but when run will create the user account without setting a user id. This will result in the user account not being able to log in. It also appears to ignore setting this account as admin when set as such.

It should be considered if MDS should allow creating a user account when macOS is not being installed. If this is valid, MDS should allow doing so without requiring other packages to be added to the Resources panel in order to save the workflow.

If this is determined to not be a valid option to create a user account when not installing macOS, the User Account panel in MDS should probably disable the “add” button and display a status message showing why User Account creation is disabled.

    Confirmed that this was only occurring because UID specified in MDS workflow already existed on target machine.
