How to Find Guids of Entity Records in Dynamics 365 CRM Online

Once upon a time we all had on-premise Dynamics CRM and we all were querying SQL Database in order to get the guid of a record. Now its more challenging as we don't access to CRM Database directly in the Online version. 

We had scenarios like a user is missing some privilege. But the error messsage would say something like Principal user with a guid is missing some privilege. So how do we identify which user this guid belongs to?

The easiest option I found so far was to do an advanced find and the select the entity ( In this case system user) and then run the results. Export the records using 'Dynamic worksheet' . In the exported excel file, there will be coloumn A as hidden which would have the guids.
