We understand the following points: A deployment itself does not delete objects. The service account used for deployment should not be able to log in to the Appian UI. There is a log file that records user authentications. Based on this, we believe there is still a possibility that the group was deleted by a smart service or process model rather than by deployment or UI login. We do have a function that maintains group information based on organization data, so that function could be related in general. However, to avoid any misunderstanding, the deleted group was not one of the groups targeted by that maintenance program. Also, we could not find any evidence in the process model logs that the relevant service account executed a process at the time of deletion. Could you please advise what information we should check next to investigate this further? For example: Are there any other logs that may show smart service execution or group deletion activity? Is there a way to identify which process model, rule, or API call deleted the group? Are there audit records or system logs that can help trace the source of the deletion? Any guidance would be appreciated.

I’d like to add one clarification: in my previous post, I did not explicitly mention that the user account shown in the log was our deployment account. Because of that, the situation may not have been fully clear. To restate the issue more precisely: An application deployed to production did not work correctly. We found that the failure was caused by a missing user group. In deletion.log , we confirmed that the group was deleted by our deployment-related account. The problem is that we could not find any deployment record at that timestamp. My question is: What is the recommended way to investigate whether someone manually deleted the group using the deployment account? For example: Are there any logs or audit records other than deletion.log and design_objects.csv that could help identify the action more precisely? Is there any way to trace the source of the deletion activity, such as the UI action, process execution, or user session? If the deployment account was used interactively, is there any record that can show who accessed it or from where? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.</description></item><item><title>Forum Post: RE: User group was deleted by the user for deployment</title><link>https://community.appian.com/discussions/f/administration/40472/user-group-was-deleted-by-the-user-for-deployment/154760</link><pubDate>Tue, 02 Jun 2026 06:24:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:a0948f16-8932-4e9a-ab79-cec19c298715</guid><dc:creator>Harsha Sharma</dc:creator><description>Deletions are done manually or via a process/rule (using Delete Group smart service) , its is not feasible to delete a group as part of deployments. So check in your team whoever has the credentials for deployment user - most likely someone deleted this group from Appian Designer. Apart from deletion.log you can check the design_objects.csv as well for details but apart from timestamp and who did what action, which you already know - I am afraid you wont be able to get more information further. I would suggest check with your team internally about this.</description></item><item><title>Forum Post: User group was deleted by the user for deployment</title><link>https://community.appian.com/discussions/f/administration/40472/user-group-was-deleted-by-the-user-for-deployment</link><pubDate>Tue, 02 Jun 2026 03:31:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:7310a7ca-4678-4df6-9f17-b2b4062fca2a</guid><dc:creator>Keizo Watsuji</dc:creator><description>Hello, We experienced an issue where an application deployed to the production environment did not work correctly.

Objects are identified by UUID, not name, so duplicates are technically valid. It useful for versioning, cross-app namespaces, or imported objects. Since only the name shows, duplicates are hard to distinguish visually; clicking the reference confirms the bound object. UUID is the only unique identifier, so the safeguard is a naming convention with prefixes.</description></item><item><title>Forum Post: Duplicate Record Type Names Can Be Created - Is This Intended Behavior?</title><link>https://community.appian.com/discussions/f/data/40471/duplicate-record-type-names-can-be-created---is-this-intended-behavior</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jun 2026 09:22:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:b4b6691c-dd2f-48ea-b76c-61ad9ef2e4d6</guid><dc:creator>bhuvan</dc:creator><description>Hi Appians, I noticed that I am able to create multiple record types with the exact same name. I tested this with both the same data stores with same/different tables from database, and the record types were created successfully without any validation error. This raised a few questions: Is it expected and valid behavior for multiple record types to share the same name? If duplicate names are allowed, what is the intended use case for this design? When configuring integrations, mappings, or other features that reference a record type, how can users reliably identify which record type is being used if multiple record types have the same name? Is there an internal unique identifier that the platform uses behind the scenes, and should users rely on that instead of the display name? (Other than UUID) I would appreciate any clarification on the expected behavior and recommended best practices.
