From perspective, how to trigger action when a user login successfully

Ignition
1

I want to execute a script when a user login the perspective session.
And the script will execute based on his ID.

I tried to execute the script when the following tag value change:

self.session.props.auth.user.id

def valueChanged(self, previousValue, currentValue, origin, missedEvents):
	user_id = currentValue
	system.perspective.print("userid"+str(user_id))
	........................

But I cannot get the printout each time a new user logged in.

How can I get this function working?

I suppose you could you could use the on startup session event and check the session.props.auth properties to build your logic.

What's the end goal ?

Yes, maybe check the userID at Mainview.

When a new user login, I need to execute a script to assign properties to this new user.

I will have a try of the startup event.

That's not an end goal, that's the means to the end.

Your script seems to be in the correct place, but I think your expectations are incorrect; that function prints the supplied string to the browser console of the open session. I think you're looking for something more like this:

system.util.getLogger("USERID_LOGGING").info(user_id)

I still cannot get the value change of this property to work.

self.session.props.auth.user.id

But I mapped this tag to a custom tag, then it works to trigger action on the value change.
