Whenever we are migrating data from an old system we also need to populate user fields. Quite often the original users have left the company but we need to transfer the data anyway. 

We have three different use cases we need to take into account:

• Mapping users to other accounts
  The workflow is not finished and the users may receive a task.
• User is deleted
  We can create a external user.
• User is deactivated
  User is still synchronized which prevents the creation of a external user.
