A Session ID is a code that grants access to your account. When you login, you get a session ID that is linked to your account, this code then authorizes you to take actions. Session ID's do expire so should not be used like a token.
Do not give out your Session ID's and be very careful not to leak it!
To get your Session ID go to cookies and get value of PHPSESSID.
To do this on Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge, press ctrl + shift + i while logged in on https://playerservers.com, this should then open something like this:
Now go to the "Application" section along the top of the panel. This should take you to another page. Here you can click cookies and view find your PHPSESSID, double click and copy the value and you have your Session ID.
If you wish to easily get your Session ID, you can add the "CubedCraft Dashboard" chrome extension to your browser, then go on a player server, head to the danger zone section and click reveal on Session ID.
Install CubedCraft Dashboard here: https://pondwadermc.gitbook.io/cubedcraft-dashboard/
Your Session ID stores information about your location on the website, for example, when you want to edit or view something on a player server's dashboard you need to select the server, if you wish to then edit a different server you need to select the different server then do the action. If you want to be able to edit 2 or more different servers at the same time you should generate 2+ different session IDs and set a Session ID for each server.
Your Session ID is NOT permanent and will expire.
You need to protect your Session ID as much as you'd protect your password as it grants access to your account!
