Groups Reference Page

This content applies solely to Connected Servicing, which must be purchased separately from the Appian base platform. This content was written for Appian 23.3 and may not reflect the interfaces or functionality of other Appian versions.

Introduction

Connected Servicing comes with a number of groups provided by default. By adding users to these groups, you can grant access to separate parts of the solution.

There are three categories that the default groups belong to:

  • Business Groups
    • These groups represent the different business roles that will interact with the solution.
    • Examples include Client Servicing and Legal.
    • Customers is a special type of business group. In order to ensure customers can only see their data and no other customer data, a user may only be added to one customer group at a time.
  • Security Groups
    • These groups are set as the security for certain Appian objects. Different business groups are members of security groups to grant access to solution functionality to entire roles.
    • Examples include AS SRQ Create Service Request and AS SRQ Upload Document.
  • Wrapper Groups
    • These groups are used to group together a number of groups of the same category. For instance, a list of business groups may be added to a certain wrapper group. This allows for querying for all groups of a certain category in different parts of the application.
    • Examples include AS FS Internal Users and AS FS Managers.

This page lists the default groups provided with Connected Servicing, what business groups belong to which wrapper and security groups, and what actions members of the security groups can perform.

To update group membership from the Connected FS Settings site, see Managing Group Membership. To modify groups and add users from Appian Designer, see Modifying groups.

Group visibility

In order for the correct groups to show up in application pickers, each type of group has the following visibility settings:

Group Type Visibility Reason
Business group Public End users should be able to select business groups in application pickers.
Security group Private End users should never see security groups in application pickers.
Wrapper group Private End users should never see wrapper groups in application pickers.

Wrapper group membership

This table lists all of the default business groups and the wrapper group that they belong to.

Department head groups are also members of the associated Connected Servicing Internal Users groups. For example, Client Servicing Department Heads is also a member of Client Servicing.

The business groups are all members of the AS FS All Business Users group type.

Actions users can perform based on their group membership

This table lists all of the actions that are available in Connected Servicing and the security groups that control access to those actions. It also lists the business groups that are members of each security group.

For security groups where no business group is listed, it is preferable to grant membership to individual users.

The security groups are all members of the AS SRQ Security Groups group.
