Is this the same thing as the User-ID feature? Or is the following done just by doing add_item?

Google Analytics cannot generate, assign, or manage the unique IDs that are assigned as User-IDs. To use this feature, you must generate your own IDs and be able to consistently associate them with a set of data. In a typical scenario, these IDs can be generated through your authentication system, passed to an account at sign-in, and then sent to Google Analytics.

Add the following line to your tracking code to send User-ID data to Google Analytics: ga(‘set’, ‘&uid’, {{USER_ID}}); // Set the user ID using signed-in user_id.

Where the value of USER_ID is a string and represents the stable and unique ID retrieved from your system.
