I’m having a tough time combining these two scripts. What I want is to limit who can edit a string input (using the touch screen keyboard) in the PLC based on their user role. These scripts work separately but having a problem getting them together. Is there an easier way?

`roles = system.security.getRoles()
if 'Administrator' in roles or 'Operator' in roles:
	value = 1
	event.source.parent.enabled = value
else:
	event.source.enabled = 0`

* * *

`system.gui.setTouchscreenModeEnabled(1)
if system.gui.isTouchscreenModeEnabled():
   event.source.text = system.gui.showTouchscreenKeyboard(event.source.text)
system.gui.setTouchscreenModeEnabled(0)`

Where do you have the scripts right now? Which event handler?
