ToDo:
This might be a forgefed specification question?
How do we identify users from other places? Do we get the information needed to actually create a user?
E.g. email adress seems not to be part of the person actor (and may be considered sensitive info by some)
cmd/admin_user_create.go seems to require an EMail adress for user creation.
We might just create a user with a random email adress and a random password.
But what if that user wants to create an account at our instance with the same user name?
Or might it just be easier to change the data structure of the star and
save identifying info of a remote user there? That would make the star structure quite bloaty though.
It would also implicate that every other feature to be federated might need their own struct to be changed.
Or create a federated user struct?
That way, we could save the user info apart from any federated feature but tie it to that.
On a new registration we could check whether that user has already been seen as federated user and maybe ask if they want to connect these information.
Features to be federated in the future might benefit from that
The database of federated features will have to be updated with the new user values then.
The "if not already present" part might be easy:
Check the user database for given user id.
This could happen with something like: user_model.SearchUsers() as seen in routers/api/v1/user.go
SearchUsers is defined in models/user/search.go
And depending on implementation check if the person already exists in federated user db.
