public interface SystemItem
extends Identifiable
A SystemItem is an item which has an additional systemwide unique id in the form of string. A system id is required when we need to make sure that we can get a specific item without knowing the numeric id. Example of such items are the root user and the everyone group.

Items with a system id can only be created during installation and cannot be removed.
