Can I create a staged user manually? Using rake, I can create an ordinary one, of course. The all-knowing AI told me I can’t, and I believe it, but still… Perhaps I should explain what I am trying to do. I have a WordPress/WooCommerce setup where a customer can book an appointment. The customer will send additional information using a form served by WordPress. That form is sent to (my) group inbox. However, because I’m using Amazon SES, I can’t use the customer’s email as the sender, because then I must approve that sender manually, and that is not an option. So, I receive the email from my WordPress address. Now, I need to connect somehow, automatically, or with very little effort from my side, that PM topic with the customer’s email. And the only solution my limited knowledge came up with was changing ownership — but for that, I need a user. Why don’t I use OAuth and create that user, since they have to create an account on WordPress? Because I just can’t understand how to do it, or I haven’t found the right topic here. Quite often, the suggested SSO is not an option, because it hijacks every other login option. --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/manually-created-staged-user/340909)._
