Hi All,
Is there a way to find user logged location in appian?
Discussion posts and replies are publicly visible
What exactly do you mean with "logged location"?
User logged from USA or UK or Canda..etc
There is no information about from which country a user logged in.
Do we know from where the use is logged in?
I have validation based on his location as a requirement :(
Appian does not provide any information about the login location. Do you have any kind of SSO in place? Then you might be able to refer to information in the active directory.
Maybe you describe your situation in more detail.
Hi Stefan Helzle
Is there any other way to get user login information? Like adding one additional field to get the user's current location or using any integration to get location information?
ak0642 Did you get location information?
The only way would be geo location based on the IP address. This is far from being reliable and we do not have any access to the users IP address from inside Appian.
Please create a new thread. Also, what is the information that you are expecting? Where do you want to use it?
This is a very broad question as others have noted but it is possible to capture the location of the user if they are submitting a user input task using the mobile application.

Otherwise, you could technically derive this info from IP addresses found in the logs but it is not 100% reliable because the person could be going through a proxy or VPN.
Actually if you go take a look at the 'Current User Activity' tab in the Admin Console you can see the user's Client IP address:
...and there are any number of IP-to-geographic-location services out there (not all of them accurate as I've just discovered!) but here's one I used to reveal my own location - to the nearest city - using the above IP address:
You can find the login-audit.csv file in the logs that has the same info as is displayed in the 'Current User Activity' tab.
(also note Mathieu Drouin 's comment below that the IP address is not 100% reliable!)
