How to create a user as a discourse admin?

For anyone else reading this, it is possible to remove IP data when anonymizing as per Anonymizing Users in Discourse

Yes, I’ve read that part:

Discourse will retain the user’s IP addresses in our logs associated with the anonymous user. However, there is a new mechanism to clear those out too available to developers.

When using our UserAnonymizer class, you can pass in an :anonymize_ip option with an IP to replace, for example 0.0.0.0 .

However, I’m not a developer, but a discourse admin, so I have no idea how I’m supposed to do that.
I don’t have access to the underlying system and command line.
What I don’t understand is why this isn’t done by default, when I click on Anonymize User.

You can use it to transfer any user’s posts to a new entity of your choosing. You’ll find it with the delete, anonymize, and impersonate buttons.

Yep, that’s why I asked my question in the first place.
