    Hello.
    I'd like to know if we can use OpenID to authenticate the player with our own server and API, and if so, if there's any example and/or use case available.

    Hi @Laurie-Unity. Thanks for the answer.
    Is there a way to log in a player in UGS using our own server credentials?
    I mean, to override the player Id provided by Unity with the Id we have in our server.
    And what about other data such as tokens and tokens refreshing?

    Hello @HernandoNJ ,

    It is not possible to override the Unity Authentication Player ID with your ID. Could you please elaborate on your use case that requires overriding Player IDs?

    After you implement OpenID Connect support, this enables your player to use their existing credentials from your system to sign in. Once they signed in, a Unity Authentication player account is created, and this account is 'linked' to the account of your system.
