Hello Community,
I'm looking around to see if it is possible to have my own login system, this is because I'm creating an application that is supposed to show reports with confidential information from the company.
Now, I know sites are supposed to be public, but I want to somehow show the information to only authorized users through a login system that I create to let users see the information only if they are authorized, but I have not found any information and it seems like it is not possible.
Has someone been able to create their own login system somehow? If not, do you know if it is possible to create private applications where I can get that achieved?
Thanks in advanced for your time and support. Any insight will be appreciated.

Can you give a bit more detail as to why the default username/password login system, and/or a SAML-backed login, would not be sufficient for the security you describe? All Appian information is shown only to authorized users (plus any additional security configured internally, usually via group memberships).
I don't think your bit about "sites are supposed to be public" is true, unless you're talking about something other than typical Appian installations.
Hey Mike, thanks for your reply.
Yeah, the default login for username/password is good, because it makes the app available to Appian users only, but then for example I don't want any user on Appian to access that information, but if somehow they get the link and an Appian account, then they can see the information on my report site.
So, I need some like extra security where I can tell which Appian user can get into the report...maybe that is possible with SAML as you mentioned?

This is why you configure internal security on your Sites, Records, Reports, and Process Models (etc). There should be no need for anything external to accomplish what you're describing here.
That makes sense, so I see now you can have only certain groups to see the interface, I guess that's what I need, thanks for the guidance Mike!
