Hi All ,It's a very common but very tricky question which I am not able to resolved.Let's say I have 3 Users who are using any Appian Application.They are added in 3 different groups as mentioned below:
User 1 : Added in Group A having Administrator rights.User 2 : Added in Group B having Viewer rights.User 3 : Added in Group C having Editor rights.All these users doesn't have any Designer rights i.e. they are not added in Appian Designer group.So , What would be the difference between the role of these 3 Users.I am not able to get the difference between Administrator, Viewer, Editor rights from End User Perspective who doesn't have Designer AccessIf there are any differences , Please list down all .
Discussion posts and replies are publicly visible
The differences lie in what they can perform and stuff they can view.
i.e. A smart service or expression rule that requires elevated permissions to run.
HI Mathieu ,Can you please mention some of the Expression rules or Smart Service that require elevated permission.View we can manage by giving VIEWER rights to different group as well.
Any update ??
Thats is a difficult question to answer as the security roles have a different definition for each object type. See process models below.

Hi Stefan ,But here mostly the difference comes into play when we have designer rights .But if we don't have designer rights , What are the possible differences which Admin can do and Viewer can't do .
This forum is free so it can take a while for people to respond (if they respond at all).
Adding a member to a group is an example of a Smart Service that would require elevated privileges. I'm not aware of a comprehensive list though.
I agree with Mathieu. There are scenarios where admin privileges can be used to manage the application through the end user experience (i.e., a site page), but for the most part the Admin group and role are designed for managing objects in the Appian Designer. There aren't a lot of differences between what they can do and viewers can do if they both have access to a site.
Got the point . Actually there was one very weird requirement i.e. why I had to ask this question.
