No, there is no scripting functionality to allow for this. What was your goal in performing such an action?

I want to create users and their machines from UI, I hope ignition can automatically create the folders according to the current user’s and machine:smiley: Sadly, I 'll do it another way.

Creating resources through scripting is not the way to go. From the sound of what you’re trying to accomplish, you should look into using Views with Parameters; clever design would allow you to make only a few “physical” Views which act like templates whose data is filled based on user properties.
