Question

Set User Time Zone from SAML assertion metadata

Hello,

  Is it possible to set User Timezone with SAML assertion, For example we can set User manager, Office Phone or Custom Fields.

Similarly, I need to setup Time Zone automatically without them to set it up manually from User Profile settings

    I suggest to contact Appian to discuss this requirement.

    Hi,

    Maybe, you find the update User Profile smart service helpful.

    Hi [mention:d11e0cc0f037418dab7166d8b0ef561a:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] 

    •  Appian does not have a built-in feature to set the user timezone directly from SAML assertion information.

    • Workarounds for Automatic Timezone Setup:

      • Utilize custom fields and expressions.
      • Implement server-side logic.
      • Integrate with external services.
    •  Refer to the documentation below for implementing the workarounds.
