Find User Account ID in Jira Data Center

[Tobias Koch]

Hello Community,

I'm trying to get the Account IDs of some users in our Jira Data Center. I've tried several options: exporting via XML or going to the User Profile. But I can't find the IDs anywhere.

Can someone show me how to find these?

Regards

Hi @Tobias Koch - The closest thing to account ID in Data Center would likely be the user key, ex: JIRAUSER12345. You can retrieve this information for any user via the following API call:

GET:
https://<your-instance-name>/rest/api/2/user?username=<username-here>

More information here:
