What is the Canvas User ID?

Often, when troubleshooting a problem specific to a single user, we will ask for the Canvas User ID of that individual.

The Canvas User ID is a unique numerical identifier in Canvas and is not the user's login ID or SIS ID. If you search the user in the root account and select them, the URL should look something like https://*yourinstitution*.instructure.com/users/######. The ###### is the number that we need.
