# getthreadidentity

Returns the currently active identity level.

```luau theme={null}
getthreadidentity(): number
```

Returns the currently active identity level.

```luau theme={null}
getthreadidentity(): number
```

Every thread on Roblox carries an identity number that decides what the running script is allowed to touchEvery 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.<br />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.

## Example

  ```luau Example 1 theme={null}
  getthreadidentity(): number
  ```

  ```luau Example 2 theme={null}
  print(getthreadidentity()) --> 8 (without previous changes)
  ```
