Hello, We are currently tracking Google account based users in our GAE 2.7 app using the User Service's User.user_id as recommended by https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/python/users/userobjects. This was beneficial over storing email addresses as it would canonicalize accounts where aliases were used or variations of emails with and without dots (e.g. [email protected] and [email protected]).
If we migrate to the Google identity platform (GIP) as recommended by https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/python3/python-differences, would we be able to correlate the old app engine ids to what comes out of GIP? Note that there's already a difference between the App Engine side user id and, if the same user is stored in our corporate Google directory, the directory side user id. Does GIP introduce a 3rd variant? A second question: how would be able to look up the GIP user id from a given email (e.g. to find out whether [email protected] and [email protected] are the same account)? Thanks!
