I have an integration system with Appian and Microsoft Azure, however the client wants to have a default account to view the page with the records. My question is is it possible to access Appian without the need of Authorization? do you need to log in at all times to access Records, Sites or Interfaces

Stefan is correct - you must authenticate to access Appian. The only other alternative is to use a service account with a Web API. This allows you to expose information to an integration that makes a request to Appian, and it allows authenticating using an API key that is associated with that service account.
can you please provide Documentation for the service account?
Just to make this clear. A service account can only be used to call web APIs. NOT to log in to UI.
docs.appian.com/.../Web_API_Authentication.html
so it CAN"T be used as a default account for non Appian users?
Exactly. To expose data to the outside anonymous world, we typically create a web portal using any web technology the client prefers and call APIs created in Appian to deliver the data.
so I am guessing I can not put DB records on this API
Why not? This is one of the ready made templates when you create a new web API.
