Hey maintainers! Working on FINERACT-2004 (Login Retry Limit) and wanted to get your thoughts on something.

The core feature is done - accounts lock after N failed attempts, reset on success, toggle on/off via config. All working with tests.

But the ticket mentions "Add this to permissions list to allow granting the same to qualified roles" and I'm not 100% sure what's intended here.

Right now, unlocking a locked user happens through the existing UPDATE_USER permission (admin edits the user). But I'm wondering if the ticket wants a dedicated UNLOCK_USER permission so, say, a help desk person could unlock accounts without having full user-edit access?

If that's the case, I could:
  • Add the UNLOCK_USER permission seed in this PR
  • Create a follow-up ticket for the dedicated unlock endpoint keeping this PR focused.

Or if the existing UPDATE_USER flow is fine, I'll just skip the new permission entirely.
What do you think? Happy to go either way.

@Adam Saghy could you please take a quick look at this when you have a moment?
