Trigger the Start Process at the moment of SAML Authentication

Question

Is it possible that when authentication with SAML is successful, it triggers a process or a rule where any type of logic can be applied using the user's information?

Why don't you control the management of Users/Roles in Appian using some LDAP Synch (or equivalent), and keep the authentication aspect (SAML) separate? That is: treat them as two separate problems. I assume you'd want to deactivate users who have bene deactivated in your IDP, and change their roles as they change in the IDP...so implement something that manages user accounts in Appian and use SAML purely for authentication purposes.

Yes, it is possible to trigger a process or apply logic when authentication with SAML is successful. SAML is a standard for exchanging authentication and authorization data between parties, typically between an identity provider (IdP) and a service provider (SP). Once a user successfully authenticates through SAML, the service provider can access the user's information from the SAML assertion and use it to trigger processes or apply custom logic.
