Hi,
Is there a way to add additional viewers via process (automatically) to a New Post Event after it has been created with an initial set of users?

@gauravg Hi, to the best of my knowledge, there exists two ways to do so:
1. Post a new feed entry every-time when there is an update in the content of 'Viewers'. I wouldn't say it as a downside, but you need to update the feed entry in the database table (provided if you are storing a feed entry, just to point out to a latest feed entry all the time) every-time and further need to configure the Viewers in such a way that the previous set of users/groups and the new set of users/groups are able to access the feed entry.
2. Create a dynamic group prior to creating a feed entry, and provide this newly created Group to the feed entry as 'Viewers'. Thereafter you may add/remove the contents of this dynamic group(smart services namely Add Group Members, Remove Group Members should aid you) by performing the Group Management. Simply speaking, the newly created dynamic group is just intended for managing the security of the corresponding news feed entry. Downside of this approach is that you may end up in creating huge number of groups in the system but the management is quiet flexible.
Just in case, if you haven't gone through the forum prior to making a post, I would suggest exploring the post at https://forum.appian.com/suite/tempo/entry/e-191406 as well if possible.
Please do let us know in-case if you have any follow-up questions or if this comment didn't answer your question.
