Possible to specify the tmp username from the outside of jupyterhub?

[Qiyang Hu]

Hi, I am wondering whether it is possible to specify the name of the tmp user when starting a new notebook server in tmpauthenticator, something like:

https://jupyterhub.example.com:8000?name=new_username

My simple goal is to have a web page that will be able to redirect to the jupyterhub to start a server with sending a single piece of info to each notebook server. Any hints would be highly appreciated.

Thanks!

I'm very late to respond here, but I think this may be a reasonable feature to allow users to access the same server etc.
