Application specific Permission

Question

Hi - I want to add a new user as Basic user who should be able to see Appian Designer only with specific Application let say "ABA" - nothing else in designer. How to achieve this? I created a user and added to designer which is added that person to Database and other groups as well which i don't want. I want that user to be administrator of the specific Application "ABA" 
 
 Please guide how to achieve this? Documentation is very high level, and self-paced training is not helpful.

Hi ByteMyst first create a user with basic user type. 
 
 Open Appian Designer and navigate to the ABA application. 
 Click Application Security and add the new user with Administrator or Editor rights . 
 Since adding a user to the default Designers group grants access to all applications, you need to use a custom group. 
 Assign this group to the ABA application security.Add the user to ABA Designers (instead of the system "Designers" group). 
 Ensure the user Is NOT added to the security of any other application. 
 In Admin Console > Groups, manually add the ABA Designers group to the Designers role.

Hi ByteMyst 
 These are the following steps that i tried and it worked for me: 
 1.Create a new user with "Basic User" 
 2.Create a new group for the specific application lets say "ABA Designers" 
 3.Add the created user to this group 
 4.Add the created group into Designers Group 
 5.Add the created group into Application Security as Administrator(Permission Level)

The fact that the user also belongs to the AS_HUB_GRP_Designers might be related to your issue. 
 Did you try removing them from that group?
