I want to do a request only once when the user logs in to an API & store the values (an array of strings) into something that I can use to lookup the values in a condition later on.
As condition code runs a lot, I don't need or want it to ping the API every time the condition is run as that seems overkill for the situation.
The values will be configuration stored in AppSettings, so they will not change often
