An admin can fill in a user member id by entering the Jira user id into the "User id" field, and the Slack Member Id into the "Member id" field and pressing save.  This could also be used to clear a member id for a user. Just leave "member id" field blank and press "save"

Find Slack member id:

• Go to "view full profile" in your Slack app (or on the Slack web page)
