### Improved runtime arguments handling

We enhanced the experience of working with Runtime Arguments when starting a job:

* You can now provide raw JSON data directly as input arguments to start a process.
* Arguments are now validated against the provided schema.

For more information on how to start a job and add arguments, check the [Managing Jobs](https://docs.uipath.com/orchestrator/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/managing-jobs) page.

### New App Test Robot runtime license

We are introducing a new runtime license, App Test Robot. This runtime type can execute Application Test Cases from Test Automation project packages as well as RPA workflows for app testing (projects created with an App Test Developer license).

For more information, check the following pages:

* [Adding a machine template](https://docs.uipath.com/orchestrator/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/managing-machines#adding-a-machine-template)
* [Enabling/disabling a machine](https://docs.uipath.com/orchestrator/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/managing-machines#enabling%2Fdisabling-a-machine)
* [Types of licenses](https://docs.uipath.com/orchestrator/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/licensing#app-testing)

### Bug fixes

We fixed an issue where unsupported process types were available in the Queue Trigger dropdown. The dropdown now only displays supported process types.

### Elastic Robot Orchestration

#### Multi-zone selection for GCP

When [creating an elastic robot pool](https://docs.uipath.com/orchestrator/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/setup-in-orchestrator#creating-an-elastic-robot-pool) on GCP, you can now select the Region when allowing UiPath to automatically provision machines. Additionally, you have the option to add your own VMs for elastic robot orchestration. These improvements give you greater flexibility and control over resource management.

### Automation Cloud Robots – VM Robot Unit consumption fix

On September 1, 2025, we released a fix addressing how Automation Cloud Robots - VM consume Robot Units. Previously, a VM could continue running into a new month even when insufficient Robot Units were allocated at the Tenant level.

## September 15, 2025

:::note
**Erratum, added September 22, 2025:** We removed the entry for the **Linking execution settings for Process packages** feature as it was not released yet.

### Environment variables values masking

When environment variables are passed as raw strings to a process or job, only the variable key is now returned. This prevents sensitive values from being exposed. The behavior is consistent with credential assets, where passwords are also masked.

### Notification when disabling SignalR

A new warning message is now displayed when disabling SignalR from the **Scalability** menu in Tenant Settings. This message informs you that disabling SignalR on the tenant can lead to some UiPath capabilities, including Studio Web, to function improperly or stop working altogether.

## September 1, 2025

### Environment variables detection

We extended the support for environment variables detection across all asset types, with the exception of credentials.

With this update, detection now also applies to assets of type integer, boolean, and text.

This enhancement broadens the range of assets that can automatically provide environment variables, reducing manual setup and improving consistency.

For more information on assets, check the [Asset Types](https://docs.uipath.com/orchestrator/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/about-assets#asset-types) section.

### New credentials store integration: Google Secret Manager

We added support for **Google Secret Manager** as a credential store in Orchestrator. There are two plugins included with the integration:

* **Google Secret Manager** - a read-write plugin that allows you to create and manage secrets directly from Orchestrator.
* **Google Secret Manager (read-only)** - a read-only plugin that only allows you to consume existing secrets. Secrets must be provisioned directly in Google Secret Manager.

This integration provides secure credential management, centralized storage, and support for assets and unattended robot passwords.

### Search for MCP Servers in tenant resources

You can now search for MCP Servers resources in a tenant.

You can search for resources in a tenant either by selecting the **Search in tenant** icon in the upper-right corner of any page

![Screenshot of the Search in tenant page with the Type: MCP Server field highlighted](https://dev-assets.cms.uipath.com/assets/images/orchestrator/orchestrator-screenshot-of-the-search-in-tenant-page-with-the-type-mcp-server-field-highlighted-593127-43591b18-9bb8d259.webp)

### Secret asset type available for Solutions

We added support for a new asset type, **Secret**, for Solutions.

The **Secret** asset type works like the **Credential** asset type, but it is designed to store other sensitive values, such as API keys. You can enter the secret value directly in the **Secret** field.
