NotFound: username: stage user not found

[tiran]

I get a "stage user not found" error when the user already exists as an ordinary user. Perhaps the user model should check if the user already exists and print an error message.

NotFound: username: stage user not found

Correction: I ALWAYS get a NotFound error.

To add extra fun: the stage user 'username' is created although I already have a normal user by that name. FreeIPA doesn't prevent name clashes.

This bug is really two bugs. First of all the portal also needs "System: Read Stage Users". Secondly stage user and normal user don't conflict. The portal should check the normal users to make sure that a stage user doesn't conflict with an ordinary user.

The NotFound exception is gone. The portal also needs 'System: Read Stage User' permission. The requirements is documented and added by create-portal-user.
