Is it possible to create another user with the same permissions as containeruser

[winkingturtle-vmw]

We follow the recommended approach for creating new users in our Dockerfile. When we create and link a gMSA with newly created containers, we are observing that running processes as our custom user fails to authenticate with SQL Server, but when the same process is ran as containeruser or NT Authority\NetworkService it's able to authenticate with SQL Server. We unfortunately cannot find any Dockerfile references showing how containeruser and containeradminstrator accounts are created so that we duplicate the same process. We had a few questions hoping someone else knows the answer:

• Can we create new local users that have the same permission as containeruser ?
• Our understanding is that there is a User manager virtual active directory and those users are part of that domain. How do we connect with that virtual AD and do we need to add our local user to that AD for this to work?
• If it's not possible to create a user with the same permissions, can we rename containeruser to our custom user? We tried using wmic useraccount but containeruser was not found.
• What type of permission can we give our custom user to do this one operation?
