Updating user profile picture in Appian

Hello Community,

I am working on a form where employees enter all their basic details and also upload a profile picture of them. These employees already have an Appian user account.


My requirement is to update the profile pic document ID in a database table and also update that particular user's profile picture in Appian.

Since Update User Profile Smart Service doesn't have the option to update the profile picture of an user, I searched in App market and came across a third party plugin named "User Profile Picture Utilities" but it is not working as expected. When added it to process model, it runs fine without any error but the profile picture of the user is not updated.

Is there any other way to change the Profile picture of Appian user account other than smart services?

Also, I would like to know if there is an option to disable the Profile section for users (Please refer to the attached image)?

Thanks in Advance!

    Does not seem possible based on the discussion here: https://community.appian.com/b/appmarket/posts/user-profile-picture-utilities

    It is possible to disable the update of the profile and cover photo in the admin console.

      I'm not sure what the use case is for the profile pictures, but you may choose to manage profile pictures in a DB table in which the image documents are related to usernames. In this way you can fully manage them yourself. and have them queried when needed.

      In addition you may disable the standard user profile picture functionality as described by [mention:33cbaf9399594652a516237911cbdba6:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05].
