user_id for leads
Remember that for leads the user_id will be automatically generated so it will look something like '8a88a590-e1c3-41e2-a502-e0649dbf721c'. (Note that this user_id is not retained when converting a lead to a user) For users the user_id is manually set so it will generally appear more like a regular number series e.g. '234'.
