Find a user's UID or GID in Unix
To find a user's UID or GID in Unix, use the id
command. To find a specific user's UID, at the Unix prompt, enter:
id -u username
Replace username
with the appropriate user's username. To find a user's GID, at the Unix prompt, enter:
id -g username
If you wish to find out all the groups a user belongs to, instead enter:
id -G username
If you wish to see the UID and all groups associated with a user, enter id
without any options, as follows:
id username
