How can we get the user Account Id in confluence cloud via email id ?

[d_b_kumar_chauhan]

Hi All,

I am trying to get the user account id via email because I did not have the full name of the user to provide the space permission using below API

https://aidtdmtrename.atlassian.net/wiki/rest/api/search?cql=user.email~"xxx@gmail.com"&start=0&limit=1000

but we are getting below error :  

{

    "statusCode": 400,

    "data": {

        "authorized": true,

        "valid": true,

        "errors": [],

        "successful": true

    },

    "message": "com.atlassian.confluence.api.service.exceptions.BadRequestException: No field exists with the name: 'user.email' Did you mean one of : user.fullname, user.accountid, user"

}


Can anyone help me on the same.

Hi @d_b_kumar_chauhan 

It seems the user.email doesn't work. Can't find documentation on that one.

https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/v1/api-group-users/#api-wiki-rest-api-user-email-get

But the full name does work:

https://adpbcj.atlassian.net/wiki/rest/api/search?cql=user.fullname~"aaron"

The email asks for the account ID.

email?accountId={accountId}'

Regards
