Hi, my use case here is while managing a bunch of test users, I want to be able to determine for each of those test users, if their passwords have expired or going to expire so that we can display it as a warning to whomever is managing those test accounts. As such, I'm wondering if there's a way to be able to query information from system logs into a process/interface or be able to query admin console settings information?
Thanks in advance

You cannot query Admin Console settings or password‑expiry info for users from a process or interface in Appian.But what's you actual use case?
I want to query the maximum password age days value from the admin console, to display that information on a dashboard. I could just have duplicate info and store that value in a constant, but was wondering if I can query admin console info directly (if there's an appropriate plug in?).
On a user-by-user basis I don't know that we even have visibility into this anywhere, as admins, even when looking at admin console. It's all handled internally within Appian and intentionally obfuscated from even the designer level for security purposes.
No, there's no supported way to query Admin Console values from a process/interface, and no standard plug-in exposes them. Best practice is to store it in a constant (or config table) and keep it in sync manually.
