Hi, This is my use case: - I have a process launched waiting on a user tasks. The process was launched via webapi, and it gets the security configuration from its process model, as usual.- The security on the process model is setted to give Administration rights to the service account represented by api-key I'm using on my web apis- From another web-api using the same api-key, I execute cancelProcess function, and I get an error talking about inssuficient privileges to do the cancel To my understanding, the process should cancel without errors because the service account used in web-api has administration rights on the process I want to cancel, but this is not what is happenning. Any help will be appreciated

Hi, There is anyway to skip the login page sending the credentials into an url?  We have an application where we send an email to the user with their credentials and the url for appian portal. The problema is that users from mobile, when they click on the url from the email, mail app open in the same window the login page so user needs to go back in order to remember user & password… that is not very usefull and finally users are not using the application. A solution could be if we can include in the email an url with user and pwd encrypted where user clicks and goes to appian portal doing the authentication automatically… its possible? Any other idea? Thanks in advance by the support.

Lets say you have a form with a textbox name. The form populates from a DB tableA. What is the recommended way of saving it into DB tableB? I experimented with the following: 1. a!pickerFieldUsers( label: "Name", labelPosition: "ABOVE", value: if(isnull(ri!tableB.firstlastname), ri!tableA.requestaddedby, ri!tableB.firstlastname), saveInto: ri!tableB.firstlastname, readOnly: true, validations: {} ) 2. putting   a!save(ri!record.requestdateadded, now()), in the submit button etc. Another idea was to keep the same rule input and handle it at "Write to DSE" in the process.

Hi Team, We have a requirment in which when the user clicks a button there should be a pop up message dispalyed for 15 secs and then it should get auto refreshed and the user should land to the home screen.As far i know, we dont have any such thing in appian to create a pop up screen but can utilize the a!buttonWidget where we can use confirmMessage property to achieve the pop up. In my case, we dont need the buttons in that message, but it appears by default in button widget.  How can i remove these buttons and also how do i achieve the auto refresh thing? Please suggest. Thanks.
