In Appian, user accounts and groups let you control which developers work on which design objects—and which users can access the developed apps.

Navigating the user management content

This information is collected into the following categories, so you can quickly find the information needed for standard user management tasks.

• Authentication: Use Appian's out-of-the-box authentication, or integrate with a number of industry-standard authentication mechanisms.
• Users: Create user accounts to control access and assign object-level and application permissions.
• Groups: Use system groups to take advantage of standard security controls, and create custom groups to meet your organization's specific security needs.
