Is there a way to get the time that a user logged into your application?

This perspective property might work.

From the mouse over description it is a timestamp of when the user logged into Perspective from the identity provider.

The [Perspective Event Types Reference - Ignition User Manual 8.1 - Ignition Documentation](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Perspective+Event+Types+Reference#PerspectiveEventTypesReference-SystemEvents) has the **onStartup** event. The bit you're interested in is

> - Fired on a **view** when the view is loaded into the browser window.

You can create a script to write to a database on the main view of your application.
