# How to Get Player Identifiers for GTA FiveM

Learn how to get player identifiers for FiveM including Rockstar License IDs, FiveM IDs, Discord IDs, and more.

## What are Player Identifiers?

Player Identifiers are unique ID numbers used by FiveM to identify players for actions like bans and whitelisting. These identifiers must follow a specific format to be recognized by the server when entered manually. Below, we’ll cover the different identifier formats and how to obtain them.

## Player Identifier Types

There are multiple types of player identifiers, but the **Cfx team recommends using FiveM IDs for the best security**, with **Discord IDs** as the second-best option. Some server owners use multiple ID formats when banning players to make evasion more difficult.

| Type ID | Provider | Type | Data Type |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| fivem | Cfx.re | User ID | int |
| discord | Discord | User ID | int |
| steam | Steam | Steam ID | hex |
| license | Rockstar Online Services | Hash | hex |
| license2 | Rockstar Online Services | Hash | hex |
| ip | IP Address | IPv4 | string |
| xbl | Xbox Live | - | int |
| live | Microsoft PUID | Passport Unique Identifier | int |

## How to Find Player Identifiers

When a player joins a FiveM server, their identifiers are stored in the server database and logged in the console (e.g., Nodecraft's server control panel). Server admins can retrieve them there.

🛑**Note: We highly recommend using the FiveM ID option, as it provides the highest level of security. The Steam ID option should only be used as a last resort, as it offers the least security.**

If players need to find their own identifiers (e.g., for whitelist applications), they can follow the instructions below:

### FiveM ID

1. Visit the [cfx.re forums](https://forum.cfx.re/u)
2. Click your **Player Icon** in the top right.
3. Select **Profile** at the bottom of the icon list.
4. Click **Summary** from the left menu.

5. Click **Expand** and copy the identifier that starts with `fivem:`(including all numbers).

### Steam ID

2. Enter your **Steam Username**.
3. Copy the **SteamID64 (Hex)** format. eamID64 (Hex) ID.

![SteamID.net has a lookup player using a steam ID field which then returns steam IDs in various formats for that player.](https://cms-a.nodecraft.com/f/133932/1571x748/245ac223ea/steamid.png/m/1000x0/smart)

#### License - Rockstar Online Services

1. Follow the steps above to obtain your **SteamID64 (Hex)**.
2. Use our **hash generator** below to convert it into a Rockstar license.

  - You will want to use the format `steam:<hexid>` where `<hexid>` is the ID you retrieved above.

## Using Rconlog Resource as a Server Admin

If the **rconlog** resource is enabled, admins can use the command:

```
status
```

This will return a list of players, including their **primary identifier, server ID, name, endpoint, and ping**.
