I have found one alternative to your ask - create an expression rule and pass one input parameter of type (User or Group). Write below code inside expression rule, verify it.

with(
local!castValue: cast(3, ri!input),
find("[", local!castValue, 0) /* 1 means Group, 0 means User*/
)

Let me know if that works.
