Hi Rab Hope this gives you an idea, If the external system has the users created. you can try accessing them with LDAP or SAML Authentication.
Please follow the links for LDAP or SAML Authentication Establishment.

hello! thank you so much for the links of resources! i am aware that we are able to create user via web api but the create user smart service currently does not allow me to set a default/permanent password for my users which is something i am trying to achieve. As i would like the user creation process to be fully automated and seamless experience for the user to login with the set password. Looking forward to your response :)
For the SAML or LDAP Authentication, It is not required to create any Processes or any usage of smart service. Please check the configurations to be made from another system to sync with Appian in the Admin Console.
hello, thank you for your response. As the work im doing is for testing purposes, my team is currently is not looking into SAML and LDAP for user creation as we just need a simple and quick way to create user along with a password set.
