## Remarks

For each **XUserHandle** handle that you retrieve from an **XUser** API, inluding **XUserFindUserByLocalId**, you must
close that handle calling [XUserCloseHandle](/reference/system/xuser/functions/xuserclosehandle). The reference count of the handle increases after calling Get / Find functions.

To retrieve a handle to a user for a specific local user ID, call XUserFindUserByLocalId.

To retrieve the XBOX User ID (XUID) for a local user, call [XUserFindUserById](/reference/system/xuser/functions/xuserfinduserbyid).

To retrieve a user ID for a specific device ID, call [XUserFindForDevice](/reference/system/xuser/functions/xuserfindfordevice).
