Allow external platforms using the public API to create provisional users
with email-only identification when the user doesn't yet exist in our
system. This removes a key friction point blocking third-party integrations
from fully provisioning access on behalf of new users.
Provisional users are created with email as the primary identifier. Full
identity reconciliation (sub assignment) occurs on first login, ensuring
reliable user identification is eventually established.
While email-only user creation is not ideal from an identity perspective,
it provides a pragmatic path to unlock integrations and accelerate adoption
through external platforms that are increasingly driving our videoconference
tool's growth.
Document the external API using a simple Swagger file that can be opened
in any Swagger editor.
