Having the ability to run different Kafka consumer threads under unique CICS transaction IDs & USERIDs

We have a microservice running in CICS Liberty which is listening on a Kafka topic.
We are causing a CICS task to be bound to the thread to give us better visibility/security/control.  We have configured the following in the jvmprofile to enable us to use an application specific TRANID under an application specific USERID and not CJSU and DFLTUSER.

-Dcom.ibm.cics.jvmserver.unclassified.tranid=ABCD
-Dcom.ibm.cics.jvmserver.unclassified.userid=USERID

However, when the next KAFKA consumer service comes along, we are limited to running this new service under the same TRANID and user.

We would like the ability to specify the transaction ID and user ID for each KAFKA microservice for the obvious reasons.
