Form for outside appian users

Certified Senior Developer

Hi All,

Is there a way to implement a form for other users that are not in the application to fill out, but at least have some sort of validation of who gets access to this form. 

The purpose is to save the form information but the user who fills it out is not an application user, and this form doesn't appear in any menus of our application.

Is this possible?

  • An Appian Portal (which is effectively anonymous access) does allow you to pass parameters in the URL. So in theory you could hand out URLs to the portal with unique parameters each of which could be tied to a notional user in a list in a database table. If someone attempted to access the URL without a valid parameter you could use that to control what form is displayed (e.g. a read-only UI that had an appropriate message on it). Since the URL parameters can be obfuscated it would be hard for anyone to guess a valid parameter. See here: docs.appian.com/.../url-parameters.html
