I have gone through the document you sent, but I didn't get a clear idea.
If you don't mind please list out the steps to achieve this.
Thanks in advance.
Please explain what you want to achieve.
I just want to create one user in the database and also give some privileges to the role to which it was added.
What user you are trying to Add? Appian user? If Yes, then why not you are using the Appian environment to do this?
