This helps ensure data consistency and makes it easier to reconcile events between systems. Use IDs from third-party platforms: If you are measuring the impact of your tests in a third-party analytics platform, we recommend leveraging the same user ID from that platform. You are responsible for anonymizing any personally identifiable data such as email addresses in accordance with our terms and other relevant regulations company's policies. Optimizely buckets users and provides test metrics based on the user IDs that you provide.Īnonymize user IDs: The user IDs you provide are sent to Optimizely servers exactly as you provide them. Alternatively, you can use bucketing IDs to ensure these users get a consistent experience.Įnsure user IDs are unique: User IDs must be unique among the population you are using for tests. If you're running tests in a business application, you may want to pass account IDs to the SDK to ensure that every user in a given account has the same treatment. User IDs don't necessarily need to correspond to individual users. If you're using UUIDs, you can run tests that span multiple devices or applications and ensure that users have a consistent treatment. If you're running tests on known users, you can use a universal user identifier (UUID) to identify each participant. In other words: a user always gets the same flag variation or flag on/off experience.įor example, if you're running tests on anonymous users, you can use a first-party cookie or device ID to identify each participant. UserIDs ensure that a single user isn't randomly re-bucketed every time they see your experiment.

Supply any string you want for user IDs, depending on your test design.

User IDs are used to uniquely identify the participants in your experiments.
