Locate important IDs for a user
Appropriate roles: Global admin
This article describes how to use the Azure portal to locate the following information for a user:
The Microsoft Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) tenant ID of the user's organization or company
The primary domain name of the organization or company associated with the Azure AD tenant
Find the Microsoft Azure AD tenant ID and primary domain name
Follow these steps to locate the Azure AD tenant ID or primary domain name at the Azure portal. (If you'd like to find a tenant ID programmatically, see Find tenant ID with PowerShell or CLI.)
Note
The tenant ID may be called different names in different applications or resources. For example, the tenant ID may be referred to as the directory ID, the Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) tenant, Microsoft ID, or for certain reports, the tenantguid.
To find a tenant ID and a primary domain name:
Sign in to the Azure portal.
Select Azure Active Directory from the menu.
The Azure Active Directory Overview page appears. To find the Azure AD tenant ID or primary domain name, look for Tenant ID and Primary domain in the Basic information section.
You can also find a tenant ID in the Azure portal in other ways:
Select Azure Active Directory from the menu. Then, locate the Manage section on the menu and select Properties.
The Properties page also displays a user's associated Tenant ID.
Find the user object ID
Just finding the domain name and tenant ID may not always be enough. You may also need to locate the object ID assigned to a user.
To find a user's object ID:
Sign in to the Azure portal.
Select Azure Active Directory from the menu.
Locate the Manage section on the menu and then select Users.
On the Users page, enter the user's name in the Search box.
Select the user's name where it appears on the list.
Locate the Basic info section on the user's Profile page. The Object ID that is displayed is the user's unique object ID.
