3. Change the IIS Settings as desired:
   * **Installation Path** - Change the default path as desired. Don't use a user-profile path (`C:\Users`) because the IIS AppPool\{Apppoolname} doesn’t have adequate permissions on it. You need **Read**and **Write**permissions on the installation directory.
   * **Host Name** - Auto-populated with the hostname. For a server under a network domain, the discoverable machine name is read from the HKM registry key. If the installer does not find a registry value, the local hostname is displayed.
   * **Port** - An unused port on the server. Use a different port than Orchestrator, if installed on the same server.
   * **SSL Certificate** - The Subject or Thumbprint of the SSL certificate you want to secure connections with. By default, this is filled in with the full computer name. See [Action Center Prerequisites for Installation](https://docs.uipath.com/action-center/standalone/2023.10/user-guide/prerequisites-for-installation) for details about the SSL certificate you can use.
4. Click **Next**. The **Action Center Application Pool Settings** window is displayed.

5. Configure the editable options as desired:
   * **Identity** - enables you to choose the identity under which the UiPath Action Center website runs. The following options are available:
     + **Application Pool Identity** - runs the Action Center website under the default identity of the application pool.
     + **Specific User** - runs the Action Center website under an existing Windows or Domain identity. Selecting this option displays two fields, **Username** and **Password**, which enable you to specify the identity under which to run. For more information on Application Pool Identities, please see [Microsoft's official documentation](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/iis/manage/configuring-security/application-pool-identities).
   * Click **Next**. The **Action Center UiPath Identity Server** window is displayed.

6. Configure the editable options as desired:
   * **Orchestrator URL** - Specify port information in the URL only if it is not the default port (443 or 80).
     :::important
     One Action Center can be connected to one Orchestrator, either a production or a non-production environment. To connect to more Orchestrator environments, you need to run an equal number of different Action Center installations.
     :::
   * **Identity URL** - Specify the Identity Server URL. Automatically populated with the Orchestrator URL plus the suffix `/identity`.
   * **Action Center URL** - Automatically populated based on hostname and port information provided. If the Action Center application is configured behind a reverse proxy or load balancer, provide the user-facing URL.
   * **Installation Token** - The [access token for your installation](https://docs.uipath.com/orchestrator/standalone/2023.4/user-guide/host-authentication-settings#installation-key).
7. Click **Next**. The installation process starts. You can now use Action Center.
   :::important
   To prevent the `The supplied identity JWT token is expired` error:
   * Make sure the **Identity Installation Token** is valid (step 7).
   * Verify that the **Date and Time** on the Action Center and the corresponding Orchestrator hosting machines are synchronized.

## Accessing Action Center

Business users can access Action Center by using the `https://{Action_Center_host}:{port_number}/` URL. They can use their credentials to log in to a particular tenant through the UiPath Identity Server.

Upon logging in, they are redirected to the **Actions** page (`https://{Action_Center_host}:{port_number}/actions/`) from where they can navigate to **Processes** (`https://{Action_Center_host}:{port_number}/processes/`) using the left -hand menu. The **Processes** page can also be accessed directly using the `https://{Action_Center_host}:{port_number}/processes` URL.
