You can set up a script using the [`lastActivity` session prop](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/perspective-run-script-after-inactivity-timer-elapses/43865/10) (I'd probably use a property bound to the current date, updating once per minute, with a change script like in [this post](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/perspective-run-script-after-inactivity-timer-elapses/43865/6)) and then ~~call the [`system.security.switchUser()`](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/system.security.switchUser) function to switch to some "guest" user, since it seems like the `logout` function takes you to the login page again.~~

 

~~You could probably also have a script that automatically logs the user in to the "guest" user on session start, and hijack the logout button to switch user to your "guest" instead.~~ never mind, can't do that in Perspective

Maybe someone else has a ~~less complicated solution~~ solution that actually works though.
