> We utilize the UserManager API within Grabbit for syncing authorizable nodes between servers.
> Unfortunately, when it comes to syncing users, and specifically setting passwords from existing users; we have no public API facing way to create users with existing password hashes. We currently have to resort to using reflection, grabbing internal tree objects, and a bunch of nastiness that we would love to avoid with this change.
> Other consumers may also find this useful.
