I have an inheritable 'nav' project that I'm using as a docked view. The user logs in using that docked view. However, when they navigate between projects their authentication resets and they have to log in again. Is there a way to make the auth 'stick'? I looked at this topic: [Maintaining login status and custom data while navigating between applications](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/maintaining-login-status-and-custom-data-while-navigating-between-applications/69251) and I believe this should work since the inherited project is the one with the authentication and not a leaf. Happy to provide more information if needed. Thanks! ---

No. And no on working around it with an inherited project. But an IdP could remember cookies to make auth trivial. Totally up to the IdP. If you want to be sure no further auth is required, consolidate into one project, then apply granular security **within** that project. ---

If you're using the same IdP on all of them, you could try going to Security...General and under the top option for "System Identity Provider" and uncheck "Always ask the IdP to re-authenticate users by default" to see if it helps. ---

Thanks for the suggestion. I already have that unchecked.
