Hi, Is there a way to run a script after a user get logged in the application. I tried to do something with the Authentication challenge session event (just writing a log with the system.util.getLogger()) but it's not working. Any idea ? Best regards, Valentin ---

The session startup event should work. Otherwise, if you can be a bit more accurate about your goal, someone around here might suggest alternative (and maybe better) ways of achieving it. ---

I want to use this event to manage my security. I created session custom properties as boolean and the goal is to check the role which get logged and affect the value "True" for this customs. I already know the function HasRole()... But I don't want to use it like that to prevent about some change on group name or something else. I want my security to be centralized in one script. ---

I'm kind of thinking 'authentication challenge' means something else: [https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Component+Events+and+Actions#ComponentEventsandActions-AuthenticationChallengeAction](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Component+Events+and+Actions#ComponentEventsandActions-AuthenticationChallengeAction) > [@valentin.guichard](#): > > I created session custom properties as boolean and the goal is to check the role which get logged and affect the value "True" for this customs. You could use `session.props.auth.user.roles` instead. ---

Why a change script ? Just bind on the current user's roles. If you want to check for a particular role, add a script transform: ```python return "your_particular_role" in value ``` ---

I need a change script to set values to a lot of sessisons custom properties. What I did: - I Created a session custom property 'Authenticated' and I bind it on the session prop props.auth.authenticated cause you can't add change script on the session props directly (you can do it but it's not working) - Add a change script on my new custom and did: ```auto if 'myrole' in self.props.auth.user.roles : self.custom.Matrice.right1= True self.custom.Matrice.right2= True self.custom.Matrice.right3= True self.custom.Matrice.right4= True self.custom.Matrice.right5= True ......... ``` This working well, thank all for your answer 🙂 ---

That's a perfectly valid use case for bindings.
