The Anonymous user is a system account that does not require authentication using credentials. It is disabled in Appian, by default.
The Anonymous account:
- Must be enabled if you need to send email messages to start process models.
- Is denied access to all other objects, pages, applications, or items in the portal other than the right to trigger a process using email.
- Is automatically in the Application User Role without you needing to add it to the role's group. Adding the anonymous user to another user role has no effect; it will always be considered in the Application User Role.
Enabling Anonymous Access
Enable the anonymous account by creating the following setting in custom.properties.
1
| conf.suite.ANONYMOUS_ACCESS=true
|
After making any changes to this property restart both the application server and the Appian services.
