Identify All Sys-Admin Users

To determine the system admins, you can run the following expression:

=load(
local!designerUsers: getdistinctusers(getgroupbyname("Designers")),
local!adminUsers: apply(fn!isusersystemadministrator,local!designerUsers),
index(local!designerUsers,where(local!adminUsers),{})
)

The Designers group contains all system admins by rule, but non-admin users can be added to the group so the second step is needed.

One quick way to see all sys admins is to create a group with the membership rule "Add users whose User Type is Administrator" . For an example, you can look at the OOTB "Designers" group, which has this membership rule by default.

I am unsure of a way to bulk-change rights without using a plugin, however, you can look at the OOB group 'Designers' to quickly spot check and find system administrators, as when a user is created or given system administrator rights, they automatically become part of this group. More information on automatic group membership for different user roles can be found here:

I'm also interested in finding a quick way to see which users have Sys Admin rights in a given environment However, , do you know if there is a way with "out-of-box" functionality or is this plug-in the way it can be done at the current moment?

The People Functions plugin (community.appian.com/.../people-functions---plug-in) includes two useful functions here: getAllUsers and Isusersystemadministrator

The following smart service allows you to select a user and change the user's type from a Basic User to a System Administrator or from a System Administrator back to a Basic User. See here: docs.appian.com/.../Change_User_Type_Smart_Service.html
