Set Credential

UiPath.Core.Activities.SetCredential

Description

Enables you to update the value of an indicated credential asset, that is already available in Orchestrator, be it a global or a Per Robot asset. Click here for details on assets.

Please note that to execute this activity, the Robot role needs to have Edit permissions on assets. When this activity is run, it uses the same authentication context as the Robot which executes it, inheriting its permissions.

Project compatibility

Windows, Cross-platform configuration

• Orchestrator folder path - The path of the folder where the credential asset is located, if different from the folder where the process is running. This field only supports string values, with / as the separator to indicate subfolders. For example "Finance/Accounts Payable".
• Credential name - The name of the credential asset to be updated. The name has to be exactly the same as the one in Orchestrator, and the same capitalization has to be used. This property supports strings and string variables. Selecting Manage assets redirects you to the Assets page of the connected Orchestrator instance.
• Username - The new username for the indicated credential asset. This property supports strings and string variables.
• Password - The new password for the indicated credential asset. This property supports strings and string variables.

¹For cross-platform projects created in Studio Web as part of a solution, the Orchestrator folder path field is unavailable.

²For cross-platform projects created in Studio Web as part of a solution, the name field provides options to Define new Orchestrator resources, such as queues, assets, or storage buckets, during design time, or Open Orchestrator for resource management.

Others

• Timeout (milliseconds) - Specifies the amount of time (in milliseconds) to wait for the activity to run before an error is thrown. The default value is 30000 milliseconds (30 seconds).
• Continue on error - Specifies if the automation should continue even when the activity throws an error. This field only supports Boolean values (true, false). The default value is false. As a result, if the field is not configured and an error is thrown, the execution of the project stops. If the value is set to true, the execution of the project continues regardless of any error.

• Private - If selected, the values of variables and arguments are no longer logged at Verbose level.

  Note:

  The FolderPath parameter does not work for processes executed by robots in classic folders. Only robots in modern folders have the ability to pass data outside of their folder.

  Relative folder paths are supported in an X-UIPATH-FolderPath-Encoded header, as follows:

  Path starting with / - starts from the root folder of the tree the ambient folder is part of.

  Path starting with . - starts from the ambient folder.

  Path starting with .. - starts one level up in the hierarchy of the ambient folder for each .. in the path (e.g. ../ for one level up, ../../ for two levels up in the hierarchy).

  Trailing slashes are not accepted.
