title: Expressions
 | 
						|
---
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Expressions allow you to write custom logic using Python code.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Expressions are used in different places throughout authentik, and can do different things.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
:::info
 | 
						|
These functions/objects are available wherever expressions are used. For more specific information, see [Expression Policies](../policies/expression.md) and [Property Mappings](../property-mappings/expression.md)
 | 
						|
:::
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Global objects
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- `ak_logger`: structlog BoundLogger. ([ref](https://www.structlog.org/en/stable/api.html#structlog.BoundLogger))
 | 
						|
- `requests`: requests Session object. ([ref](https://requests.readthedocs.io/en/master/user/advanced/))
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Generally available functions
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### `regex_match(value: Any, regex: str) -> bool`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Check if `value` matches Regular Expression `regex`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Example:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```python
 | 
						|
return regex_match(request.user.username, '.*admin.*')
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### `regex_replace(value: Any, regex: str, repl: str) -> str`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Replace anything matching `regex` within `value` with `repl` and return it.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Example:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```python
 | 
						|
user_email_local = regex_replace(request.user.email, '(.+)@.+', '')
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### `ak_is_group_member(user: User, **group_filters) -> bool`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Check if `user` is member of a group matching `**group_filters`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Example:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```python
 | 
						|
return ak_is_group_member(request.user, name="test_group")
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### `ak_user_by(**filters) -> Optional[User]`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Fetch a user matching `**filters`. Returns "None" if no user was found.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Example:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```python
 | 
						|
other_user = ak_user_by(username="other_user")
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Comparing IP Addresses
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To compare IP Addresses or check if an IP Address is within a given subnet, you can use the functions `ip_address('192.0.2.1')` and `ip_network('192.0.2.0/24')`. With these objects you can do [arithmetic operations](https://docs.python.org/3/library/ipaddress.html#operators).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
You can also check if an IP Address is within a subnet by writing the following:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```python
 | 
						|
ip_address('192.0.2.1') in ip_network('192.0.2.0/24')
 | 
						|
# evaluates to True
 | 
						|
```
