# Success node

The Success node is a required element indicating the journey ended successfully.

## Examples

All authentication journeys have a Success node as one of their terminals.

## Availability

| Product                               | Available? |
| ------------------------------------- | ---------- |
| PingOne Advanced Identity Cloud       | Yes        |
| PingAM (self-managed)                 | Yes        |

## Inputs

The success outcomes of any preceding nodes.

## Dependencies

This node has no dependencies.

## Configuration

This node has no configurable properties.

## Outputs

## Outcomes

The authentication journey completes successfully.

The node resets the failure count in the user profile when reached if the User Status property is set to `Active`.

## Errors

* Checks the Status property of the user profile, when reached, and fails the authentication with an error message if the account is marked as `Inactive`:

  ```json
  {
      "code":401,
      "reason":"Unauthorized",
      "message":"User Locked Out.",
      "detail":
      {
          "failureUrl":""
      }
  }
  ```
