User ID from Username from a User who's not in the same server

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

How can I get the user ID from a username if the user is not in the life experience like the script?
BSP: A mod searches in this experience for a user who is not currently playing the experience or is not on the same server. The script then gets the user ID of the player the mod is looking for and outputs it, for example.

Did you know about the Players:GetUserIdFromNameAsync("Misterx113") function

Yea, but

  1. Does that work for users who aren’t in the server?
  2. I have no player instance, only a string, is that ok?

It works for any user, Any, even those that aren’t in the same server

The argument only supports string, so that is ok
