# How to Find a Player UUID on a Hytale Server

Learn how to find and convert between player UUIDs and usernames on a Hytale server.

Retrieving someone's Hytale UUID can be very helpful as a server owner if you wish to add them to the allowlist/whitelist, set permissions before they join, or if necessary, ban folks before they even have a chance to join your server. See some of our related articles for instructions here.

Most other solutions today require the player to join the server first, but we built an easy to use tool that converts UUIDs and player usernames for Hytale, [https://hytaleid.com/](https://hytaleid.com)

2. At the input box at the top, enter the username you wish to convert
3. Click on "lookup", and then you'll be given the uuid back.
