You can use this number in several places, such as when you’re configuring the [Cross-Intel Sharing App](https://knowledge.threatconnect.com/docs/the-cross-intel-sharing-app-sharing-data-across-threatconnect-instances) 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)](https://knowledge.threatconnect.com/docs/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. NoteThis article discusses how to view an owner’s ID number in the ThreatConnect user interface (UI) only. If you have an API user account, you can use the ThreatConnect API to retrieve an owner’s id via a GET request to the [/v2/owners](https://docs.threatconnect.com/en/latest/rest_api/v2/owners/owners.html) or [/v3/security/owners](https://docs.threatconnect.com/en/latest/rest_api/v3/owners/owners.html) branch. ## Before You Start | Minimum Role(s) | - Organization role of Read Only User (for viewing an owner’s ID number on the **Posts** screen) - Organization role of Organization Administrator (for viewing an Organization’s ID number on the **Account Settings** screen and for viewing the ID number for a Community or Source on the **Organization Settings** screen) - Community role of Editor or Director (for viewing the ID number of a Community or Source on the **Community Config**, **Source Config**, **Community Info**, and **Source Info** screens) | | --- | --- | | Prerequisites | An Organization, Community, or Source created in your ThreatConnect instance | ## Organization ID Number In the ThreatConnect UI, an Organization’s ID number is displayed is at the end of the URL for the following screens: - [**Posts**screen](https://knowledge.threatconnect.com/docs/posts) for the Organization; - **Organization Settings** screen (via preview or via direct access from the **Account Settings** screen only).
