Hi Appian Experts,

Need your help regarding the data visibility.

There is a scenario where our business users are not able to see the full name of a service account in a grid that is getting data from a database via a Sync disabled record, whereas the Application designer can see the full name of that service account via a following code. We have added the service account in the business group, still it didn't works. 

if(
or(
a!isNullOrEmpty(
ri!user
),
not(
isusernametaken(
ri!user
)
)
),
ri!user,
user(
ri!user,
"firstName"
) & " " & user(
ri!user,
"lastName"
)
)

    What are the validations you are using in the grid column? Any restrictions for set of personas? If possible share the grid code as well.

    Business users can’t see the service account’s profile (User Profile Visibility), so user() returns blank. Admins always can.

    Add your group to the service account’s role map, or store the display name in the data.
