How do I set a user's external ID?

Question

Where can I see the external ID after it's been set?

Answer

To set the external ID:

Set the external ID in a bulk user import, with the application programming interface (API), or with single sign-on (SSO).

To view the external ID:

View the external ID on the user profile page, in the bottom-left corner, near the last signin metadata.

Note: External IDs aren't associated with users by default. You must set them to view this data on end-user profiles.
