Hi Tester. Welcome to PW and the forums. Not sure what you want to achieve in the end but users in PW are also stored as pages. Hence, they come with a template. You can add as many fields as you like to the user template to store your data and retrieve and display these like any other field using your template file  - hence extending "user".

To view the "user" template, go to Setup->Template. Then under filters panel, under show system templates, select yes. Scroll down to the now revealed "system" templates. Select the "user" template and you are ready to start adding your custom fields to it . If you wish, you can then hide the system templates when you are done...

About IDs, users are automatically assigned IDs when you create them

Edited for clarity...
