Runtime App Users Overview

Runtime App Users are the human consumers of an AgilePoint NX app. Generally, these are the users who can complete forms in an app or custom page. Access to specific eForms in an app are defined as the participants for a task. However, if app permissions are enabled, a specified task participant must also be configured as App Initiators or Report Viewers to access the task form.

Permissions for Runtime App Users

Runtime app users are a broad category of any human consumers of AgilePoint NX runtime resources.

Runtime App User Types

User Type	Description
Form user	Description: A form user is a person who uses an eForm or AgilePoint NX app at runtime. In a process-based app, a form user is a type of process participant. Permissions: Any permissions available to a runtime app user for a specific process-based app or form-based app.
Anonymous form user	Description: An anonymous form user is a person who completes an anonymous form. Permissions: The same permissions as a form user, except that an anonymous form user can complete the form without authenticating AgilePoint NX.
Mobile app user	Description: A mobile app user is a person using an app on a mobile device, including mobile apps that are created with the Mobile App Accelerator. Permissions: The same permissions as any runtime app user for a specific process-based app or form-based app.
App Initiators (Permission Group)	App Initiators is a permission group for users or groups who have access rights to start a process-based app or form-based app. For process-based apps, App Initiators are also process initiators for all process models within the app. In a process-based app, an App Initiator must also be a participant for the start task to initiate an app. This means that when an App Initiator is configured at the global level in Manage Center, the App Initiator can start any app, but only if they are configured as a participant for the start task in an app. For form-based apps, App Initiators are simply runtime app users for the app. App Initiators can be assigned at the global level or for an individual app: If App Initiators are assigned in Manage Center, they have access to all apps. If App Initiators are assigned in App Builder, they have access to the individual apps where they are assigned. An AgilePoint NX tenant can have App Initiators assigned at both the global level and assigned to individual apps. Permissions: This permission group has these permissions for a specific app: Start an app instance. These permissions from Report Viewers: View applicattion data. Limitations: Users and groups can only be assigned to the App Initiators permission group after an app is published.
Page Viewers (Permission Group)	Page Viewers is a permission group for users or groups who have access rights to see a custom page, but can not add or delete the page, in Page Builder. Permissions: This permission group has these permissions for a specific custom page: View page.
Report Viewers (Permission Group)	Report Viewers is a permission group for users or groups who have access rights to view the application data in an eForm report view for a specified app. Report Viewers can be assigned at the global level or for an individual app: If Report Viewers are assigned in Manage Center, they have access to all apps. If Report Viewers are assigned in App Builder, they have access to the individual apps where they are assigned. An AgilePoint NX tenant can have Report Viewers assigned at both the global level and assigned to individual apps. Permissions: This permission group has these permissions for a specific app: View applicattion data. Limitations: Users and groups can only be assigned to the Report Viewers permission group for an app after the app is published.
