Extend the User getters and setters

I created an app to authenticate against a custom Single Sign On, I wanted to add a custom getter and setter to the user. As far as I can tell theirs no documentation on how to extend the user in any way other than using UserBackend, which that in itself has little to no documentation, so I am a little lost as to where to go from here.

For example if I added a field called “store_number”, what I want is to be able to make a function called “getStoreNumber” and a function called “setStoreNumber” that works alongside the other functions in the IUser.

I don’t think it’s possible (or advisable) to extend the user. Even if you could, there would be nobody to call either of the methods as they are custom to your app.
