Hi @Roger Roger

We could use the method below to find the object id of the user

1. Sign in to the Office 365 Admin Portal with an account in the desired tenant with the appropriate administrative rights.
2. In the left-side menu, expand the Admin Centers section at the bottom and then select the Azure Active Directory option to launch the admin console in a new browser window.
3. Select Users.
4. Browse to or search for the desired user, then select the account name to view the user account's profile information.
5. The Object ID is located in the Identity section on the right.
   

Or you could use the Get-AzureADUser command to meet this need as well. -ObjectId Specifies the ID (as a UPN or ObjectId) of a user in Azure AD.

Get-AzureADUser -objectID "******@contoso.com"  
OR  
Get-AzureADUser -Filter "userPrincipalName eq '******@contoso.com'"
