Parser expressionDescription
%{userAccountId("Bob Smith")}
This example returns the Atlassian account Id of the user Bob Smith, e.g.:
557058:145e0983-5707-439c-80e4-1160dd57f142
%{userAccountId("Will Smith")}
Assume, we have two users with the same name "Will Smith", the first with the Atlassian account Id "557069:145e0983-5707-439c-80e4-1160dd57f142", the second with "77cb4ae0e4b97ab11a18e99f5". Then the result would be

557069:145e0983-5707-439c-80e4-1160dd57f142, reflecting that the account Id of the first "Will Smith" is returned.
