About the REST API：How can I get accountID？

[韦哲]

Hi Atlassian Team, 

I‘m developing an service system on JIRA，I need add some users to some groups，the API tells that I should use API“add user to group”，but the parameter——’accountId‘ is required，where should I get it？ I’m try to use API“get accountid”, but the parameter——"username" is required, where can I get it？

Thanks.

Well you'll have to launch another query to get the users. Several exist.
