Viewing Owner ID Numbers

Overview

Every owner (Organization, Community, and Source) in your ThreatConnect^® instance is assigned a unique identification number. You can use this number in several places, such as when you’re configuring the Cross-Intel Sharing App and need to provide the ID for the Community or Source from which you’re receiving data, or when you’re writing a query in ThreatConnect Query Language (TQL) that includes the owner parameter. This article describes the various screens where you can view an owner’s ID number in ThreatConnect.
