Get User ID based on email address

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Dishant Sharma 30

I am looking for a rest API using which I can get the user id of any user based on the email address of the user. I can make the rest API call using the admin account. 

Can anyone please give me a REST API through which I can access the user id of the user by passing the email of any user as the parameter? I don't want to find the user id of the current user. 

I have the same question (0)

    ok. Take a look at this documentation: learn.microsoft.com/.../query-data-web-api

    Replace the other entity name with users and apply a filter for email in any example from above link

    I am not using any third-party app. I just want to make an API call from my JS app and get the username of the user by sending the email address of the user as the parameter.

    Naveen Ganeshe Thanks for the reply. Actually, I am using the 'crm8.dynamics.com' base URL. The above one is not working for me!

    Hi Dishant,

    I believe you are talking about D365 CE.  are you using any third party app to get the detail? You can use the power automate as well to get this info with existing connectors.

    However, If you still want to use rest then here is the service URL: orgname.api.crm4.dynamics.com/.../users you can put any filter in this
