Find account ID in JSM

[Kannpitcha Paponphatsiri]

Is there any REST API or other methods to get Account ID of others automatically (by Scriptrunner)?

Hi Kannpitcha,

Thank you for your question.

I can confirm that to get the account of a user, you can navigate to the URL of <JiraBaseURL>/people/search inside of Jira to find a user's account ID. 

If you wish to look up the accountId in a script, you can call the Jira Find Users API, which Atlassian provides to find a user.

We have an example script that shows how to do this here on line 25

This example shows how to call the Find Users API to search for a user and get their accountId and should help you to achieve your requirements.

Regards,

Kristian
