How to get the account id for Gerrit 3.2.6

[shang...@gmail.com]

Hi All,

I don't know how to get the account id of a user since update to 3.2.6 as  I have migrated reviewDB to noteDB, I tried to use admin-console plugin, but I encoutered the internal error issue.

Thanks

The storage format is explained here [1].

You can use the REST API to query for the accountId, e.g. using the username or email of the user you are looking for [2]:

https://gerrithost/a/accounts/?q=username:johndoe

https://gerrithost/a/accounts/?q=email:joh...@example.foo

this will return the accountId, e.g.:

[{"_account_id": 1024738}]

with that you can use all the other account REST API endpoints [3] to get more details.

It works, but not so convinent, why not use an administrator command?
