What's the best way to find a Workiva user's UID?

Besvart
Be om demo

My understanding is that each Workiva user has a unique ID (in a format like, e.g., V0XVc2VyMpExNzYyNzQxODgx). This is in addition to their username/displayName, e-mail address, and possible SAML ID (if they've been mapped to one).

However, that UID doesn't seem to be directly accessible anywhere in the Workiva UI; the only way I know to access it is via API. (I thought this was perhaps used in the Organization Admin URL for a person's detail page, e.g., https://app.wdesk.com/s/admin/o/[orgUID]/user/profile/m/[UID], but this seems to be a completely different ID.)

Is there a straightforward way to find this user unique ID through the UI? (This is to facilitate troubleshooting SCIM-related issues and questions. While we could simply use the API to export all user info, including IDs, if we use this approach obviously we'd have to do this on a recurring basis to capture new users, etc.)

    Hi Andrew, 

    Apologies for the massive delay here! You may have noticed that an end user cannot find their own External ID (UID) directly from the Workiva platform. There a few ways to access this but the recommended approach is to contact Workiva Support. 

    Option 1: Via the Workiva API (as you already know)
    - Use the Platform Users API to retrieve user data including the unique ID
    - The Get Organization Users endpoint returns a list of all org users with their IDs
    - For SCIM troubleshooting specifically, the SCIM GET Users call also returns the user id field:
     - GET /s/scim/Users — returns all users with their unique IDs
     - Can be filtered by active/inactive status, e.g. ?filter=active eq true
     
    Option 2: Via SCIM GET (useful for ongoing SCIM troubleshooting)
    - Since you're using SCIM, the SCIM GET /Users endpoint is arguably the most practical ongoing solution — it returns user IDs alongside usernames, emails, and active status
    - Filtering options are available to avoid pulling the full user list every time
     
    Regarding the Org Admin URL — you're right that the ID in the Org Admin URL (/m/[ID]) is a different identifier (the workspace membership ID), not the platform-level user unique ID.
