If your "USER" table is getting updated as the source of truth for user accounts, you can create a synchronization process that pulls from the table and adjusts the Appian users (add, update, deactivate, etc). This is a pretty common scenario (e.g. LDAP, database query, file ingestion, etc) where Appian users need to be adjusted based on a separate system of record.

Once the users are synced in Appian they will be able to login based on your environment's configuration (i.e. username/password, SSO, etc).

I would not suggest trying to create generic accounts for multiple users to share. That is very likely a breach of your licensing agreement. Coordinating with your Appian AE for any questions on licensing would be best to make sure your organization is setup for what the business needs.

Hi bhanuprakash,
It is not possible to login with custom table USER ,Appian User must be created through Admin console only, So he can only able to access it.

Hi Sandeep,

Thanks your reply.

it is good idea, but we have different users need to login into the application.

For generic user, you mean to say, when any user try to login into appian by using this generic user then they will do the next steps??

my understanding is correct.?

Regards,
Bhanu.

Hi bhanuprakashm ,

No it is not possible. If your user count is really very high like 1000+ then I can suggest it would be good if you can propose your business to created Shared/generic user account. Or you can create a utility for multiple user creation.

Thanks,
Sandeep

For a user to be able to log into Appian, he/she must be an Appian user. You cannot use external database for that.
