Couldn't find any info on if this exists and don't see anywhere to configure it if it does.

Curious if it'd be possible to add the ability to pass a header with the user's account name. This might also require the ability to assign an actual username to users instead of their email address.

I use a few services Calibre-Web for example that allow you to pass a header from your authentication to bypass their local auth login. This would be helpful so I can have another user who is signed in be forwarded to the proper account on the resource instead of having to sign in again to it.
