I have an Admin page that shows several user attributes including: first name, last name, user name, and roles; in the designer all of these values are properly displayed:

 ![2024-01-25_16-17-09](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/5/e/5e4db13a55693f1eafc4bdbc0f91356f859201fd.jpeg)

Each of the label components that display the user attribute values are bound to the appropriate session.props.auth.user.xxx property:

 ![FirstLastBind2024-01-25_16-25-18](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/d/9/d9c2c08332b6dfc79afa7fca782d0bc29958270d.jpeg)

![UserNameBind2024-01-25_16-26-00](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/c/9/c99d4baf7c09bbc99b7853518dad96135c4941b2.jpeg)

 ![RolesBind2024-01-25_16-25-36](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/6/c/6ce24091aaec6e97e947125c36b7c0d6a7a161c7.jpeg)

The behavior in the session shows null values for all of the user attributes?... So at the designer WYSI-NOT-WYG at the session?

Any help on this annoying issue is greatly appreciated.

Does your project require authentication? If not, users do not have to log in. The auth props will be null until they do.
