About Automation Suite
Automation Suite is UiPath's self-hosted solution for managing all of your UiPath® products as one.
Now that you've successfully installed Automation Suite, with all of the products it includes, let's get you started with the basics.
The UiPath platform operates on a hierarchy system with different levels, allowing for organized and efficient setting management across multiple companies and departments.

|
Host |
The host level is the top tier in UiPath platform hierarchy. This is where system administrators perform configurations for underlying organizations and create new organizations. Settings configured at the host level are applicable to all its organizations. However, these settings can either be overwritten at each organization level according to its needs or remain unchanged. |
|
Organization |
An organization typically represents a single company within the host. It can have its own specific settings or inherit the ones from the host level. An organization admin manages these settings. If needed, they can change the settings received from the host level, tweaking the configurations to match their organization's requirements. |
|
Tenant |
A tenant represents a distinct entity such as a separate division or department within the organization. Each tenant is allotted its own unique resources within the organization, permitting them to handle their automation procedures independently. A tenant's function can be managed by service assignments made for it. |
|
Service |
Services represent various UiPath web products or modules, such as Orchestrator, Insights, or Action Center. Each service does a unique job in the automation process. The services can be allotted to any tenant for their individual automation needs. |
|
Folder |
Folders are a level under a tenant and serve as a platform for even more detailed segregation of resources within a tenant. These resources might include different processes, assets, or credentials. |
|
User, Robot Accounts, Groups, and External Apps | These entities are identified by UiPath in order to assign access rights and permissions. User Accounts: Are the individual users of UiPath, each having unique access based on assigned roles and licenses. Robot Accounts: Are used to run automated processes and have special permissions based on robot's role and automation requirements. Groups: Are collections of users who share the same access, permissions, roles, and licenses in UiPath. External Apps: These are third-party applications that interact with UiPath, each with its own permissions, roles and licenses. |
System administrators define settings at the host level that apply to all underlying organizations. However, in case a specific organization has unique needs, an organization administrator has the flexibility to modify or overwrite these inherited settings. This enables both uniformity and customization within the platform.
The below diagram depicts the hierarchical relationship between the host, organization, tenant, and service.
