Getting user information

Written by
Yandex Cloud
Updated at March 11, 2025

You can get the ID, email address, and other user information.

Cloud Center interface
CLI
API
  1. Go to Yandex Cloud Organization.

  2. In the left-hand panel, select Users. The page will display a list of organization users with:

    • User: User login and email address.
    • ID: User ID.
    • Federation: Federation ID.

    You may want to use the filter or search feature to find a user you need.

  3. Click the row with the user name to view the information about his OS Login profiles and SSH keys.

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI yet, install and initialize it.

  1. See the description of the get user information command:

    yc iam user-account get --help
    
  2. Get user information by specifying the user's login:

    yc iam user-account get just.mad.hatter
    

    Result:

    id: ajei8n5ahmfh********
    yandex_passport_user_account:
        login: just.mad.hatter
        default_email: just.mad.hatter@yandex.ru
    

If you know the user's login, use the getByLogin REST API method for the YandexPassportUserAccount resource or the YandexPassportUserAccount/GetByLogin gRPC API call.

If you know the user's ID, use the get REST API method for the UserAccount resource or the UserAccountService/Get gRPC API call.

To get information about federated users, use the listUserAccounts REST API method for the Federation resource or the FederationService/ListUserAccounts gRPC API call. To get information about a specific federated user, use the filter parameter to filter users by login.
