Summary

Solution

You have two options for retrieving the ID:

• Export Users from a Site (Admins Only)

  • You can export your users by following the instructions found at Export users from a site | Atlassian Support. The "userid" column in the export will display the Atlassian Account ID.

• Search for People and Teams

  1. Navigate to [Teams] > [Search for people and teams].

  2. Enter the user’s name in the search field.

  3. The URL in the browser looks like https://yoursite.atlassian.net/wiki/people/<AccountID> and reveals the Atlassian Account ID.

     Example URL

     https://example.atlassian.net/wiki/people/70121:1f2551a8-1df8-487b-bdf5-7ba4a164faca

     The above example URL has 70121:1f2551a8-1df8-487b-bdf5-7ba4a164faca as the Atlassian Account ID.
