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:
Find the Microsoft Entra tenant ID and primary domain name
Follow these steps to locate the Microsoft Entra ID tenant ID or primary domain name at the Azure portal. (Microsoft Entra ID was previously known as Azure Active Directory.)
If you'd like to find a tenant ID programmatically, see Find tenant ID with PowerShell or CLI.
Note
The tenant ID might be called different names in different applications or resources. For example, the tenant ID might be referred to as the directory ID, the Microsoft Entra tenant, Microsoft ID, or for certain reports, the tenantguid.
To find a tenant ID and a primary domain name, use the following steps:
Sign in to the Azure portal.
Select Microsoft Entra ID from the menu.
The Microsoft Entra ID Overview page appears. To find the Microsoft Entra 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 Microsoft Entra ID 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 might not always be enough. You might also need to locate the object ID assigned to a user. (If you would like to find the object ID programmatically, see List users and their properties with PowerShell or CLI.)
To find a user's object ID, use the following steps:
- Sign in to the Azure portal.
- Select Microsoft Entra ID 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.
