At present at "Appian Administration Console", to create a user, there are only two user types are available, "Basic User" and "System Administrator".

Now to provide access to the Appian Database to a person, an user with "System Administrator" access permission is required to create. That case the person will get Read and Write both permissions to the Database. I want to create a user who will have only Read permission to the Appian Database. How can I do this?

I shall be grateful if anyone kindly help me regarding this.

AFAIK that is not supported.

For what purpose?

Actually I have to allow someone to investigate some data at Appian Production database but for security purpose I can not allow him to modify or delete any data. That is why I want to know how to provide read only access to Appian database.

As mentioned, I think this is currently not supported.

Maybe a DB export might help.

Is this a cloud system?  This sounds like something we would either handle at the DB level (get them read access direct to the DB), or provide them a Basic User account and the read-only reporting they would need to review that specific data.
