The UiPath Orchestrator connector and activities pair offers activities that allow you to
deploy and manage your enterprise robot workforce centrally with [UiPath Orchestrator](https://docs.uipath.com/orchestrator/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/introduction).

## How it works

The UiPath Orchestrator connector includes an activity package. The activity package
helps you automate Orchestrator-related operations, such as getting assets,
credentials, job results, queue items, listing all records, running a job, or
performing HTTP requests to interact with Orchestrator.

Access the [UiPath Orchestrator activities](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/integration-service/about-the-uipath-orchestrator-activities) page to learn more.

## Authentication

The connector uses the same role-based access control model as other Orchestrator activities, under the identity which is executing them. The given identity must have the correct permissions in order to use the connection (**Connections.View**), but also to perform the desired action in Orchestrator (for example, **Assets.View** to use the Get Asset activity).

Orchestrator connections are direct and secure, and do not require additional
authentication parameters, such as user credentials or security keys.
