I see that through REST (and SDK as well), getting a user is not case sensitive. And even though documentation does not clearly state that it is, the wording "Valid chars are a-z, A-Z, 0-9, period, hyphen, and underscore" kind of indicates that Anna and anna would be different IDs. I found an answer for this that this a DB feature, but is there a walkaround to make this possible? If not, then maybe it would be beneficial to add this information to the documentation
Summary
Developers are discussing user ID case sensitivity. The issue stems from how user IDs are stored in the database, as string comparisons are not case sensitive in Mariadb. Although REST and SDK currently do not support case sensitivity, developers suggest making an issue on Appwrite's Github to address this. A workaround is not available aside from modifying the database behavior. It is proposed that updating the documentation to clarify this information would be beneficial.
