How to Find User ID in Jira

Updated on:

Use this interactive demo to learn how to locate a Jira user ID in three quick steps.

Quick summary

Finding a Jira user ID requires navigating to User Management via Jira's settings and selecting the target user — the alphanumeric ID then appears in the browser address bar after "users/".


Steps

  1. Click the settings icon (Gear icon) in the top-right corner of your Jira interface.
  2. Select User Management from the settings dropdown menu.
  3. Find and select the user whose ID you need from the user list.
  4. Locate the User ID in the browser address bar — it is the alphanumeric string that appears after "users/".

📌 Why this matters

Knowing how to find a Jira user ID is essential for admins and developers who need to configure permissions, automate workflows, or integrate Jira with third-party tools via the Atlassian REST API. The user ID — a unique alphanumeric identifier — is required for precise user-level operations that display names or email addresses cannot reliably replace. This tutorial streamlines a task that is not immediately obvious in the Jira interface, saving teams the time spent searching through documentation. It is especially valuable for teams managing large user bases or building automation rules that target specific Jira users.
