Hello Community, please, is there some easy way for Jira administrator how to obtain userKey (~ JIRAUSER12345) for some specific user? I'm aware, that I can get this information: * using REST API * looking into the database * using some groovy script * ... But I wasn't able to find any straightforward way like get it from User management, click somewhere, use some URL. Am I missing something? Thank you very much.

nav[aria-label="Primary Navigation"] { padding: 0; & ul { list-style: none; width: 100%; display: flex; flex-direction: row; justify-content: start; align-items: start; gap: 30px; padding: 0; & li { margin: 0; } & ul li { list-style: none; } } }

How to easily get userKey for user

Hello Community,

please, is there some easy way for Jira administrator how to obtain userKey (~ JIRAUSER12345) for some specific user?

I'm aware, that I can get this information:

using REST API
looking into the database
using some groovy script
...

But I wasn't able to find any straightforward way like get it from User management, click somewhere, use some URL. Am I missing something?

Thank you very much.

Hi @Soumyadeep Mandal ,

so, according to the issue JRASERVER-68189, there is no Jira's UI way.

Probably the easist way is to use REST API and URL:

$JIRA_URL/rest/api/2/user?username=<User_Name>

Thank you for the confirmation, I thought I'm missing something.

<JIRAURL>/jira/rest/api/2/user?key=JIRAUSERxxxx

Go to Script Console in ScriptRunner and type in Script:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor; 
ComponentAccessor.getUserManager().getUserByName("username");

Remember to change username

Click Run

The result is below

username(JIRAUSER01010)

Hi @Agnes Kal , this works great. How would I do the opposite? I have JIRAUSER12345, and I want to show the display name? Thanks.

Almost the same:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor; 
ComponentAccessor.getUserManager().getUserByKey("JIRAUSER12345");
