    You cannot change or manually set the principal ID, that is the SCO ID that Connect creates to uniquely identify the user when their account is created.

     

    You can set the account to not default to using the email as the login. You can do this by going Administration > Users and Groups > Edit Login and Password Policies and changing the Login Policy to Use e-mail address as the login to No. Then don't forget to scroll to the bottom and hit Save. 

    Then when you create a user, through the API or in the Connect UI, you can make their login ID the ID used in your database. That may get you what you need.

    You first need change the setting while in the Connect Central UI. Go to Administration > Users and Groups > Edit Login and Password Policies. The first option will be for the Login Policy and you should change the 'Use e-mail address as the login:' option to No. Then scroll down and hit Save (I have missed this step more than once). Now you can update user logins by editing thier info in the user management interface or you can use the APIs. I believe you'd need to use the principal-update call, https://helpx.adobe.com/adobe-connect/webservices/principal-update.html.
