KB-1247 How to register new Forum/Community users

Registering as a user on Appian Community provides further access to Community features and content.  A user that is associated with a Customer or Partner account will gain additional access to resources and content on Appian Community. For more information on access by user type click here.

There are two ways to register a new user on the Appian Community that are described below.

A) Self register on Appian Community

  1. Access the Appian Community login page
  2. Click on the “Register Now” link towards the bottom of the page
  3. Enter your email address, your name and a password. Note that the minimum password requirements are:
    • Length: 8
    • Alphabetic character: 1
    • Numeric characters: 1
  4. You will be sent a verification email once you submit the form.  Follow the instructions received in the email.

Upon logging into Appian Community, you will be asked to complete the required fields in your user profile.  

From the user profile you may be able to associate yourself to an account if your email domain is matched.  Associating yourself with either an account will grant you access to the corresponding Customer or Partner user type role.  The account’s user registration administrator(s) will be notified about your association.

B) Registration by your user registration administrator

Your account’s primary contact or user registration administrator can register and/or associate you with the company account using the User Registration application.  The User Registration application allows authorized contacts to register users on behalf of their company. An account record page is also included where the authorized contacts can view a listing of all users associated with their company account.

Note: The next steps are only intended for Primary Contacts and User Registration administrators.

Steps to register a new user for your company account:

  1. Login to Accounts page  as an authorized contact
  2. Click on [Your Company]
  3. Click on the Register a New User button
  4. Complete the information for the new user.  Email addresses must contain a valid company-supplied domain (e.g., appian.com).
  5. Submit the form

If the user is a new Community user, an email will be sent to them with their credentials.  If the user is already a Community user they will be notified that their user type has been updated and their access level will be escalated.

 

Contact Appian Technical Support via a support case or by email (support@appian.com) for any of the following requests:

  1. Adding new domain names for companies
  2. Adding new User Registration administrators
  3. Adding new support contacts
  4. Deactivating and reactivating users
