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?

thank you I did esactly the same but when the user is added it inherited some Designer group rule based other groups like database as well which I don't want - where to modify that behaviour.

I think you need check your group membership once.

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)

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.
