Attention: To align with new corporate security policies, and to match policies adopted by other communities within Oracle, the My Oracle Support Community access requirements will change beginning September 18, 2025. MOSC will now require that member accounts in our community be associated to a *corporate* email address. This means that users with generic domains (such as gmail.com, yahoo.com, and others) will no longer be granted access to the discussion forums and ideas labs. If this policy affects you, act now to change the email address that is associated with your Oracle (and community) account. Alternatively, you can opt to create a new Oracle account that uses your corporate email domain.

I am trying to find the user id and group id for the user on unix solaris in particular.

I searched on google and found the following command:

id -u username

id -g username

id -G username

id username

But when I tried, I am getting the following message:

id -u oracle
id: illegal option -- u
Usage: id [-ap] [user]

What am I doing wrong?

Please advice. Thank you very much.
