A '''Game Identity''' is a game-related identity that is attached to the person playing.

== Definitions ==

* '''Game Identity''': a Game Identity is created for each game-platform combination on first network connection ([[Steam]] or Xbox) - there can be multiple ones for one player using multiple platforms.
* '''{{Name|bi}} Account''': a {{Name|bi}} Account is the general {{Link|https://www.bohemia.net|https://www.bohemia.net}} {{Name|bi}} account - there can be only one per player.

A '''Game Identity''' can be linked to a '''{{Name|bi}} account'''.

{{Feature|important|
* Two Game Identities linked to the same {{Name|bi}} count as one and the same person and can therefore not connect to the same server.
* It is '''not''' possible for the end user to unlink identities from a {{Name|bi}} account.
}}

Linking example:
{| class="wikitable"
! Step
! Event
|-
| Play {{armaR}} on Xbox
| A '''Game Identity''' is created on backend's side
|-
| Link the {{Name|bi}} account
| The {{Name|bi}} account is linked to the Game Identity
|-
| Play {{armaR}} on PC
| A '''Game Identity''' is created on backend's side, without BI account information
|-
| Link the {{Name|bi}} account
| {{Name|bi}} account identical information is detected and the '''Game Identities''' are now related.

As of now, the {{armaR}} Steam Identity takes precedence over the Xbox one for {{Link|Arma Reforger:Workshop|Workshop}} publishing purpose.
|}

== Scripting ==

The local player's Game Identity ID can be obtained (on clients only; dedicated servers do not have identities) using <enforce inline>BackendApi.GetLocalIdentityId()</enforce>.

A player's Game Identity's ID can be obtained '''server-side''' in script using <enforce inline>BackendApi.GetPlayerIdentityID(int iPlayerId)</enforce>.

{{Feature|informative|{{Name|bi}} Account ID and platformUID (SteamID, XboxUID) are '''not''' accessible by script.}}
