Hello,

Using Ignition 8.1.20, is there a way to get tags that show all active perspective sessions for all projects (we have over 10 projects)? we need tags that provide information similar to what is available in the gateway status page (Perspective Session):

Currently, the tags in the system\>session folder shows the details of the active session for the opened project only.

Not via tags, but:

Thanks, used it and it works fine.  
Is there a way to get the user's first and last names?

_If_ there's a logged in username associated with the session _and_ the backing identity provider is Ignition's, then you can use the `system.user` functions to retrieve the raw User object.
