getthreadidentity

Returns the currently active identity level.

getthreadidentity(): number

Every thread on Roblox carries an identity number that decides what the running script is allowed to touch.

Returns

number - the identity the current thread is running at.
By default, in Seliware, all scripts you run will have the identity of 8.

Community-established identity values:

Level	What runs there
2	Regular LocalScript and ModuleScript
3	Roblox-authored CoreScripts running inside live games (CoreGui, settings UI, etc.)
4	Roblox Studio command bar
5	Studio plugins
6	Roblox’s built-in plugins
7	DataModelLoader context (COM)
8	RCCService context

Note: Roblox does not publish an official identity table. The breakdown above is mapped from the output of printidentity, and reverse-engineering of the engine.
