| The microflow must return a **System.User** object to ensure proper user provisioning and updates. It will be executed after user creation or update of user. However, starting from version 2.0.0 of the UserCommons module, this is no longer mandatory. If you have added a new microflow, you will need to refresh the module containing your microflow as described in the [Mx Model Reflection](/appstore/modules/model-reflection/). This selection can be blank if you do not want to add custom logic. | ||

| 4. To facilitate upcoming enhancements to the platform, you need to perform some configuration so that Mendix can correctly identify end users. Correct identification is crucial for ensuring consistent and accurate end user metering and deduplication of end users across multiple applications in your landscape. For this reason, the UserCommons module features the **User Metering Named Identifier** entity in version 2.2.0 and above. If you have a multi-app internal user license or an external user license, you must persist the same value for the same end user across different apps, regardless of which modules you use. In most cases, the end user's email address is a good choice. Currently, Mendix uses the `system.user.name` to identify users, it will use the **User Metering Named Identifier** instead, unless it is not populated. For accurate user metering, you do not need to change what value is persisted in the `system.user.name`. You can continue to persist whatever value you are using there today. The `system.user.name` is often used for technical user identifiers. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
We need to add:
"Both system.user.name and userCommons.NamedUserIdentifier.value have a uniqueness constraint; it is not posisble to have 2 users in an app sharing the same value for the Named User Identifier."
