Perhaps a less confusing name for what Phabricator has as "admin" should really be "Phacilitator" - because in the mind of those used to administering forums and other websites the current Phabricator "admin" is not at all what a real forum administrator is capable of.

Thanks, I will do that for the accounts I make in the future. In the meantime I am still dealing with the accounts I have already created and that have already been used on their first login session lasting weeks in some cases.

For the particular problem I ran into, if there were a way to pre link a user's account with the external authentication method to be used that would solve our immediate problem.

Yes, I had seen that web page *before* giving my comment!!
