Licensing

Licensing requirements for Coded Apps under Unified Pricing and Flex, covering app access and Coded Action Apps.

Important:

The information on this page applies to the Unified Pricing and Flex licensing models. For general licensing information, refer to the Automation Cloud admin guide.

This licensing information only applies if you use Automation Cloud or Test Cloud. This page does not cover Automation Cloud Public Sector or Test Cloud Public Sector licensing.

Note:

To determine the most suitable user license for your needs, reach out to your UiPath Sales representative.

Building and deploying

Building and deploying a coded app has no per-app licensing cost. The number of coded apps that you build, deploy, or redeploy does not affect license consumption.

Accessing a Coded App

To open a deployed coded app, a user must be a member of the UiPath organization that hosts the app. No named user license is required. A user with no license allocated can sign in through single sign-on (SSO) and use the app.

Important:

The user license tiers on the Apps licensing page apply to low-code apps built in Studio Web. They do not govern access to Coded Apps.

Coded Apps do not apply folder-level role-based access control (RBAC) to app access, so a user can access the app frontend even if they are not assigned to the folder where the app is deployed. If your use case requires access restrictions, those should be implemented in your app logic.

However, Coded Apps commonly access other UiPath resources, and those resources adhere to RBAC. For those resources, the user who accesses the resource needs to be assigned to the folder where the resource is deployed.

For example: if a Coded App allows a user to start a process through a button on the app frontend, the user doesn't need to be assigned to the folder where the Coded App is deployed in order to access the app, but they do need to be assigned to the folder where the process is deployed to be able to start the process.

Resources accessed from Coded Apps

A Coded App is a frontend, and it consumes no licenses or units by itself. The platform resources it invokes are licensed under their own product. Consumption follows the invoked resource, not the app.

Coded Action Apps

A Coded Action App is the user interface for an Action Center task, so it inherits the Action Center licensing requirements. Users who work with actions in a Coded Action App need a user license that grants access to actions, in addition to organization membership.

For the license tiers that grant access to actions, see the Action Center licensing pages:

• Unified Pricing licensing
• Flex licensing
