Original Pull Request: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/pull/9093

State: closed
Merged: No


The issue being solved here is that custom user management plugins (such as this one) cannot set a Guid when adding a new user - it is always choosen at random. Normally this is good behaviour, but for plugins trying to synchronize data this is problematic.

I did not find a good way to change the user id (shortly) after creation, so I propose to make it configurable (for plugins) instead. Implementations not requiring a specific ID can still operate as-is, API compatibility is maintained.
