Smart service to change a user's timezone

There's no out of the box nor Shared Component plug-in to do this; there's one to change the Locale (available for download here in Appian Forum under the "Shared Components" record forum.appian.com/.../all Smart Services) but not for time zone.

You can build your own using as an example the Create User With i18n smart service that comes with the Personalization Utilities plug-in available for download here in Appian Forum under the "Shared Components" record forum.appian.com/.../all Smart Services; the source code is inside the JAR.

Here's the relevant snippet that this plug-in uses to set the User's preference:

UserProfileService ups = ServiceLocator.getUserProfileService(newUserSc);
ups.setUserPreferences(buildUserPreferences());

where buildUserPreferences() is defined as

UserPreferences uPreferences = new UserPreferences();
uPreferences.setLocale(localeForUser);
uPreferences.setTimeZone(timezoneForUser);

More information by looking at the plug-ins source code or the JavaDocs
