Getting forbidden error while accessing process model from site

Question

Hi guys, 
 I have an issue, I have created a report which uses an interface with a!startprocess() function and pointing out the process model with a constant. And i am trying to call this report in the site then i am facing a 403 forbidden error. 
 All the precedent which were used has configured with admin rights. 
 If we use other than startProcess function in the interface it was working fine 
 Any inputs will be helpful 
 Thank you, 
 Santosh

Hi alok, Instead of using the Wed api, I published the process model as a web service and used that in the integration object. Anyways Thanks for the inputs.. Thanks, Santosh Kumar.

Hi santoshd378 What exactly your requirement is? I mean why do you want to start a process from an interface which is used inside a Report? 
 
However, as per your statement, you are saying that, a!startProcess() function causing you the issue, so in such case, you can do following: 
 
Create a WEB-API which starts your Process, now call this API using Integration Object (Newly introduced in Appian 17.2 v, or use httpQuery() or httpWrite() depends on type of method of API i.e. GET or POST, if working with earlier version i.e. till 17.1) 
 
Now try calling this Integration rule or your rule through the interface instead of a!startProcess() 
 
So, if a!startProcess() is really the root cause, then this procedure should work out for you.

Hope this will help you.

Yes you need to use Basic Authentication under the Authentication dropdown, instead of using it as None, where you need to provide your Third Party credential username and password, which will be nothing but your userid and password
