Agree with the security comments already attached here. That is the biggest reason, as this keeps us from being able to properly secure files and files for users, since the UID is what is generated on the operating system, instead of an actual user id. Thus, our access management systems are unable to be leveraged to manage the security access and folder permissions within the platform to keep the data secure between multiple users.
This also has security relevance.
WSL assigns its own numbers to users - those numbers manifest themselves as operating system userids in the file system backing the user-home PVC. Thus existing operating system users on the system providing the backing storage could overlap with those numbers and by this gain access to private/confidential data.
An integration with the central user/userid managemnt like requested would prevent this.
Therefore the requested 'high' priority is backed also by this security reason.
