Determining a User ID
In Jira, there is a distinct difference between a User’s public name and their User ID; a User’s ID is unique identifier associated with their Atlassian account and is unique across all Atlassian products and instances. The best way to find a User’s ID is to check the URL of the User when viewing their details through the User Management tools. To find the ID of a User:
Log into Jira as an Administrator.
In the upper right corner of the window, click Settings ( ) and select User Management.
This will open a new window displaying the Atlassian Administration tools. In the list of Users, click the name of the user for whom you need an ID.
Check the URL of the page that opens (figure, immediately right). The User’s ID is the last part of the URL, after ‘/users/’.
