Default groups created when creating a new Application

Hi there.

If I select the “Generate groups and folders to protect and organize objects” option when creating a new Application, what groups are created by default? I think they were “Administrators” and “Users” but I saw in a forum that someone was talking about the “Designers” group being created as well. Is this true?

This may cause some confusion since designers usually have access to the application through Appian's standard designer role. Users with access to Appian Designer can manage applications. However, if you require a separate Designers group, you will need to create it manually.
