Lots of ideas in this thread: > [@Modal Pop-Up How-To?](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/modal-pop-up-how-to/15211/10): > > Alright, who is ready for some hacking? This might get complicated, but here is how I have achieved this in the past. As an example, I will use my custom lock screen, attached in this post. Here is the script. def lockScreen(): from javax.swing import SwingUtilities,JFrame #Import some stuff import system.nav if system.util.getGlobals().has\_key('lockScreen'): #Check if the screen has been locked before. This really just saves the set up code system.util.getGlobals()["app"].getRootPane… My _personal_ answer would be to tell the customer that `system.security.lockScreen` is the only way to do it. The lockscreen window looks almost identical to that popup, and this is a fairly ridiculous thing to split hairs over. But I'll leave that up to you 🙂 --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/switch-user-popup-based-on-time/69412)._
