# How to Locate a Player’s EOS ID in 7 Days to Die

Guide on finding EOS ID

In **7 Days to Die**, the **EOS ID** (Epic Online Services ID) acts as a unique identifier for every player. Knowing this ID helps server admins manage permissions, moderate behaviour, and apply commands to specific users.

## Finding a Player’s EOS ID via the Console

If the player has recently connected to your server, you can easily locate their EOS ID through the **ChipHead Panel** console.

1.  Log in to your **ChipHead Panel**.

2.  Open the **Console** tab.

3.  Search for the player’s name in the console logs and look for their **CrossId**.
    
    1.  When a player connects, you’ll see something like this:
        
        ```javascript
        PlayerSpawnedInWorld (reason: EnterMultiplayer, position: 12 123 12): 
        EntityID=171, PltfmId='Steam_12345678910', CrossId='EOS_0001234567890abcdefg', 
        OwnerID='Steam_12345678910', PlayerName='Username', ClientNumber='2'
        ```
        

Here’s what each value means:

-   **CrossId** – The player’s **EOS ID**
    
-   **OwnerID** – The player’s **Steam ID**
    
-   **PlayerName** – The player’s username

## Finding a Player’s EOS ID via players.xml

If the player isn’t currently online but has joined your server before, you can find their EOS ID in the **players.xml** file.

1.  Log in to your **ChipHead Panel**.

2.  Open the **Files** tab.

3.  Navigate to your **world folder** and open **players.xml** - `/.local/share/7DaysToDie/Saves/[MAPNAME]/MyGame/players.xml`
    
4.  Locate the line containing the player’s username and take note of the `userid`.

    1.  An entry might look like this:
        
        ```javascript
        <player platform="EOS" userid="0000001234567890abcdefg" 
        nativeplatform="Steam" nativeuserid="12345678910" 
        playername="Username" lastlogin="2024-11-15 17:49:30" 
        position="-1255,61,239" />
        ```
        

In this example:

-   The **EOS ID** is `EOS_0000001234567890abcdefg`
    
-   The **Steam ID** is found under `nativeuserid=`
