# SetAsset

> Enables you to update the value of an indicated [asset](https://docs.uipath.com/orchestrator/standalone/2023.4/user-guide/about-assets), which is already available in Orchestrator, be it a global or a Per Robot asset. Note that to execute this method, [the Robot role](https://docs.uipath.com/orchestrator/standalone/2023.4/user-guide/default-roles#robot-role) needs to have **Edit** permissions on assets. When the `UiPath.Core.Activities.SetAsset` is triggered, the authentication context of the Robot under which it runs is being used.
