Not so much 'tempted' , but Satan 'challenged' God's sovereignty.
In the Garden of Eden, Satan convinced Eve that God was withholding good from her and that she would be better off without his direction (Genesis 3:1-6)(Revelation 12:9). By so doing, many feel that Satan challenged not God's strength and mightiness, but his right to rule. His WAY of ruling. He did this publicly, in front of God's entire heavenly organization, raising questions in their minds that needed to be resolved.
He continued his challenge in the book of Job, claiming that God's creation was faulty, and that no human would remain loyal to God when under test (Job 1:6-12)(Job 2:1-8). He claimed that Job only served God for what he could get out of him and not out of love.
God trusted his creation and knew Job's heart, knowing he would remain faithful under even the worst conditions, but Satan's challenge had once again raised questions and doubts in the minds of the angels, and needed time to prove. Because of this, many feel that Jesus was sent as the ultimate answer to all challenges, successfully proving faithful under all tests, and will soon end all wickedness, but for now, the challenge will continue until God finally steps in to end Satan's rule (1 John 5:19)(Revelation 12:9-12)
