Unable to get account Id of user in Jira Rest API v2 for Jira Server

Question

Hi,

I am trying to get user details using Jira Rest API v2. I am getting all details related to the user except Account Id. Can anyone help me out how to get account Id as well.

Thanks

I don't think Jira server uses accountId. AccountId is only specific for cloud instances.

@Prince Nyeche - ELFAPP  We are trying to figure out account id for jira server as well because mult-user field does not accept user_name for jira server request type submission.   The below is one of the  example.  Any pointers here?

curl --location --request POST 'https://jira.test.vxxx.com/rest/servicedeskapi/request' \--header 'Accept: application/json' \--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \--header 'Authorization: Basic c3ZjX212d29ya3NfamlyYTppOSo0N25DcSpLTjJLMmhVdEtmVg==' \--data-raw '{"requestTypeId": "88","serviceDeskId": "4","raiseOnBehalfOf": "xxx@moveworks.ai","requestFieldValues": {"summary": "Moveworks/Vaya Test (please ignore)","components": [{"name": "Active Directory"}],"customfield_10085": [{"id": "10157"}],"customfield_10052": {"name": "user_name"}}}'

The response we got 
```
bond server reply: rest_pool: {\"errorMessage\":\"Your request could not be created. Please check the fields have been correctly filled in.

Hi @Sunil Thakur

if your question is meant for Jira Cloud, please can you share the endpoint you're using for that request where you did perform a user search and the result came back without an accountId? As accountId is specific to Atlassian Cloud and not the Jira Server version.
