Match existing users to their accounts

If your students have been using Wellio without SSO integration, we need to link their Wellio accounts to their unique identifier in Google to confirm their identity. The user claims settings will be their email address, but we use test accounts to ensure everything is configured correctly. We'll match up as many accounts as possible and provide a list of those we couldn't match. Just send us the details for those students, and we'll update their accounts.
