I have a client that would like to import users with their employee id as the primary key, but with a separate username. Is there any way to specify which field to use as the primary key?

Not sure if I was totally clear on that, the import needs to be able to update Username and Email address based on Employee ID

I am also interested in setting the user id.

The lack of response on this thread makes me think this feature isn't going to happen soon? or is there something in the works?

I am also interested in choosing another id to match on, specifically to update user-records. In my use-case an email address can change, but the employee id stays the same.
