It seems that in 8.1.0 we can no longer set the SYSID when adding

I have lots of code that depends on the actual group and user number.
Is there a way to set the user and group number?
No -- fix the code. Just curious, how can user code depend on the
SYSIDs? I don't see a way.
If 8.1 doesn't allow you to remove a user who still has rights
granted, then this should be no problem. however, in older versions
you can delete users and leave dangling rights with no way to revoke
them unless you create a user with that specific ID and then revoke
the rights, and re-delete the user.
