I have a question regarding the smart service, Post Event to Feed. The requirement is to have only the users and groups that are in the Modify Security smart service to have access to the posted event in Tempo. The node input for Viewer Group only allows one group to be selected. Is there a way to combine multiple groups and users without having to create a new group for this purpose? We would like to avoid creating a group for each process that is launched unless it can be deleted when the process is finished and not affect the post in Tempo. Any suggestions?...

Try using the togroup() function: forum.appian.com/.../Conversion_Functions

Ok, I tried using the togroup() function and it does post it, but it is not secure. Everyone can view the post.

Are you modifying the group security before using the togroup() function or after?

I think I wasn't clear on my original post. The users and groups that are defined in the Modify Process Security smart node would be the only ones to have access to the post generated by the Post Event to Feed.

I tried to use the togroup() function in the Viewer Group of the Post Event to Feed.

Can you save togroup(ac!Viewers) from your Modfiy User Security Smart service into a pv!
In the Viewer Group of your Post Event to Feed Smart Service, have the value be the pv! you just created.
Please ensure that the users who are seeing the post are not administrators.

I tried using togroup(ac!Viewers) in the output data tab of the Modify Process Security node, but it does not save a value into the pv! (it is null). The post is visible by all users.
