&lt;p&gt;some possible solutions i may suggest:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;If you have an integration for your organizations AD with that information in, you can just create a rule to retrieve a user&amp;#39;s manager&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;If that information is in the Appian User Profile in Administration Console, you can use that information using the user() function&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;An always good solution could be to have a reference table userToManager, that requires to maintain that information on the DB and/or create a process to let some group of user to update that information on organization&amp;#39;s changes&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
