Executing Tasks

Running tasks inside the UiPath CLI designed for Windows devices (UiPath.CLI.Windows) requires several tasks.

The main differences between procedures for the UiPath.CLI.Windows and procedures for the UiPath.CLI (UiPath CLI designed for Linux devices), consist in additional arguments that you could pass with some tasks that are specific to the type of device that you are running on.

Important:
When using UiPath CLI, you must ensure that the project is closed in Studio. Doing otherwise causes a conflict leading to the following error message in CLI: The action could not be performed because the project is already opened in another Studio instance. Please close it and try again.

API Access application scopes

The following table shows the required Orchestrator API Access Application Scopes for running any CLI task.

Application Scope

Description

OR.Assets

Assets read and write access in Orchestrator.

OR.BackgroundTasks

BackgroundTasks read and write access in Orchestrator.

OR.Execution

Execution read and write access in Orchestrator.

OR.Folders

Folders read and write access in Orchestrator.

OR.Jobs

Jobs read and write access in Orchestrator.

OR.Machines.Read

Machines read access in Orchestrator.

OR.Monitoring

Monitoring read and write access in Orchestrator.

OR.Robots.Read

Robots read access in Orchestrator.

OR.Settings.Read

Settings read access in Orchestrator.

OR.TestSets

TestSets read and write access in Orchestrator.

OR.TestSetExecutions

TestSetExecutions read and write access in Orchestrator.

OR.TestSetSchedules

TestSetSchedules read and write access in Orchestrator.

OR.Users.Read

Users read access in Orchestrator.

Adding an External Application

To register an external application so that it can use OAuth to access your UiPath resources:

  1. Go to Admin and select the organization at the top of the panel on the left.
  2. Select External Applications.
  3. Click Add Application in the top right.
  4. Fill in the Application Name field.
  5. Select an option for Application Type.

    If you select Confidential application, you receive an app secret at the end, so make sure your application can store it securely. If it can't, select Non-confidential application.

  6. Under Resources, click Add Scopes.

    The Edit Resource panel opens on the right, where you can select the resources to which the application should have access.

  7. From the Resource drop-down list, select the UiPath API that the application can use.
    Note: You can only add scope for one resource at a time. If you want to allow access to multiple resources, repeat this process to add scope for each resource.
  8. On the User Scope(s) tab, select the check boxes for the logical API permissions that you want to grant, as needed.

    Granting permissions under user scope means that the external application can access those resources within a user context and a user with the appropriate permissions must be logged in.

  9. If this is a confidential application, you can switch to the Application Scope(s) tab to also grant application-level permissions for the selected resource, as needed.

    With permissions under application scope, the external application has access to application-wide data for the selected scopes without the need for user interaction.

    Non-confidential applications cannot access application scope.

  10. Click Save.

    The panel closes and the selected resource and scopes are added to the Resources table in the form.

  11. If the external application has been registered with user scopes, you must add a Redirect URL where the external application should receive the authorization response.

    If only application scopes are selected, providing a Redirect URL is optional.

  12. Click Add to create the registration.

    A confirmation message opens. For confidential applications, the confirmation message includes the app secret that the registered external application can use to request authorization. Make sure you save it in a secure location because you cannot see it again.

Running UiPath.CLI.Wndows

Prerequisites: To use the UiPath CLI for Windows and execute tasks, install .NET 6.0.7, that must include .NET 6.0.7 Desktop Runtime, that come with the 6.0.302 SDK.
