**Description**  
I need to organize users into breakout rooms based on a specific user property. To assign users to a breakout room I do the following:

```auto
ZOOMSDK::IList<const wchar_t*>* unassignedUserList = pBODataHelper->GetUnassginedUserList();
// Some checks
for (int i = 0; i < unassignedUserList->GetCount(); i++)
{
	const wchar_t* strUserID = unassignedUserList->GetItem(i);

    //Here I want to assign only users with a specific property
	if (pBOCreatorHelper->AssignUserToBO(strUserID, ROOM_ID))
	{
        // ...
	}
}

```

To get a `IUserInfo*` for a specific user I call `GetUserById(unsigned int)` defined in the `IMeetingParticipantsController` interface.  
However `GetUnassginedUserList()` returns an IList NOT of `unsigned ints` BUT of `const_wchar_t*`. Is there a function that accepts a `const wchar_t*` and returns a IUserInfo?

**Which Windows Meeting SDK version?**  
Version 5.7.6.1081

**Device (please complete the following information):**

- OS: Windows 10

Is there help on the way? Because I’m drowning and help is needed 🙂

Hi @zoomsdkdevop, thanks for using our SDK.

Unfortunately it is not possible to get the IDs of each user through the breakout-related functions. The only identifier currently exposed through the SDK is the username, which can be obtained through [`GetBOUserName`](https://marketplacefront.zoom.us/sdk/meeting/windows/class_i_b_o_data.html#aa618ca1837dafc3f42c8596f2269afea).

Thanks!
