External to organization. Each time, a new login is created, it is referred to an individual user. For example, you may consider a candidate in background verification process, who has to fill in details. Here, candidate is an individual user and not from any organization.

ok, so are they within the same organisation or external to your organisation?

Thanks David but external parties here refer to independent users who will vary from time to time. So, in this case how can we have a dedicated Appian site for them ?

May be worth you considering (dependent on what version you are on) securing an Appian site for the external party and then masking the URL they access that site by? Could all be handled by Appian security then? But yes, licencing would need to be considered and how that information is collected and at what volume vs number of users.

An external data capture tool to then call an Appian process api (WebAPI vs Process WSDL) could be another solution.
