from Authentication

{
  "accountId": 1825528, // the ID of the account initiating the request
  "userId": 4012689, // the ID of the user triggering the action
  "aud": "https://www.yourserver.com/endpoint", // the expected audience of the token (your app’s endpoint URL)
  "exp": 1606808758, // expiration timestamp of the JWT
  "shortLivedToken": "SHORT_LIVED_TOKEN_HERE", // the short-lived token to authenticate against the monday API
  "iat": 1606808458 // issued-at timestamp of the JWT
}

is accountId id of the organization to which a user belongs and userId id of the user? e.g., if i work for microsoft, accountId will be id of microsoft. could someone clarify this for me? if not then what is the difference?

Account id is the tenant/organisation

User id is for the logged in user.
