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
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

You are still searching it inside an Application.Go to designer
i found it thanks alot !
hii i want to add a new field like middleName, region, to this environment specific User record how can i achieve this??
Sorry it can't be edited, we can't add new columns . But middle name is already there and you can use custom field using province for regionhttps://docs.appian.com/suite/help/24.3/Configure_Tempo_Users.html#overview , this link contains everything you can do to the user record type and things you can't . Go through it
ok i want to add new field called region in that record, if i click on update now button on user record will i able to add new field?
It will update the record to new futures, not let you add a field
okkis their any other way to add new field or that is not possible to add new field??
It's not possible, Source of user record type is System Appian maintains it, but can i know what you want to add , so that i can give you alternatives. Like you can use Province for region for example or else create a new record type in Appian which holds all the extra fields you want and maintain relationship with default user record type.
this is user profile page, in this screen i want to add new field called "Region" just below country field just like other fields this new field region should also a user need to select from dropdown & when saved changes need to be saved to user profile
Sorry, you can't add it
create a new record type in Appian which holds all the extra fields you want and maintain relationship with default user record type
by this we can do right?
Yes ,You can do it
thanks for your information
