How to exclude data by users' id in Google Analytics > Behavior > Events?

Question

Is it possible to exclude certain events by users' id?

I see here a filter but it only offers to filter by columns listed below:

Is there really no such an option, must I slap a user id on every event I send to analytics?

user ID and client ID couldn't be used for filtering in reports or segments to do that. However, you might set up a custom tracking and store the user ID value as custom dimension so it will be possible to use it in reports later.
