Known Limitations

1. When the Azure AD integration is enabled, you cannot assign tasks to users in Action Center if they haven't signed in using their AD account. The same behavior occurs for local user groups , when the users haven't signed in using their local user account.

   Workaround: Consider asking your users to sign in after their accounts have been created, using either their AD or local user account. Alternatively, you can continue to assign tasks to the user's UiPath account. But then organization administrators should delay the task of discontinuing UiPath account use until the issue is resolved.

2. In the case of folders that have permissions set for DirectoryGroup, all Azure AD users appear in the Assign To User drop-down list, even if they don't have permissions for the specified folder. Even if users without the appropriate permissions show up in the Assign To User drop-down list, you can't assign Actions to them. This behavior is a user interface issue only, caused by an API that returns all Azure AD users, regardless of their folder permissions.
