# PID (Page ID)

In the context of the [[typo3-backend]], a **PID (Page ID)** is a unique numerical identifier assigned to every page within the TYPO3 page tree.

PIDs are used as precise technical identifiers when requesting access permissions from the **Webmaster**. Providing a PID is preferred over providing a URL path because it uniquely identifies the page regardless of whether the page title or URL path has been changed.
