    You'll want to get all enterprise users and filter on the login field, which is the given email address. This will give you the user ID back.

    Can you please send some example code?

    A few lines would probably be sufficient. How do I search all enterprise users and then just filter on  a specific login id?

    Is there a search call? 

    Yes, I have made a userDict before in python and gotten boxid by login.....but I would rather make one call with the method to search and filter than build all the 55thousand users into a dictionary.

    users = client.users(filter_term='example@boxdemo.com')
    for user in users:
         print('{0} (User ID: {1})'.format(user.name, user.id))
