Hello everyone, I'm new to Appian and I want to know if the user record type exists by default in any Appian application. I need to configure a 'create user' node in my process model, so do I need to create a user record manually?

Yes not in Application but in environment specific User Record Type

Don't need to create a new user record . Go through this for better understanding
thanks for your answer . but when i go to all object and i select record i only have those record types . the USER record type here is created by me not by default and i haven't anyfield
That's what i'm saying it's not Application specific it's Environment specific. serach in Objects.
Or There is a separate tab
If you create your own user record type, it will not automatically populate when creating an Appian user account. You will have to create items yourself.
If you decide to use the system-provided user record type, creating a user account is enough.
Thanks for your answer! I want to use the 'create user' node in my process model. It will be the first node after the user fills a form. Will the user record be generated automatically at that time? in this case how can i configure this ! where it will be saved
it gives no result , the user record there is the one that i created
First you need to understand that we have three different parts here:
1: Appian user account: Create, modify or deactivate user accounts using the respective smart services or the admin console. User accounts are stored internally Appian and are not visible in the database.
2: Appian user record: You do not modify this! But use it to relate to it when saving user names to your own records.
3: Your records: You create these record types and create, modify or delete items using the smart services "Write Records" and "Delete Records". Your records can store a user name and relate that to the Appian-provided user record.
--------------------------------
Do you have a specific question about how to configure the "Create User" smart service? Please read the documentation first.
The user record type was created by me, and it doesn't contain any fields. In the Appian documentation, I read that the user record is generated by default, but in my case, it's not. This is causing problems while configuring the 'create user' node in my process model.
The user record IS created by default ... with current Appian versions. Depending on your environment that record might not exist, or you just have no access.
BUT, that has nothing to do with the "Create User" smart service! To automatically create a new Appian user account, you use only that service, period!
Okay, thanks for the clarification
