Managing Apps

Deploying Apps

Once an app is published to a tenant, you can deploy it in folders.

Before deploying an app to a folder, make sure that the following prerequisites are met:

• Your app is already published to a tenant.
• You have the right permissions. To deploy an app, the Create permssion under Apps is needed. If you are part of a default group, such as Administrator or Automation user, this permission is granted automatically. You can also create a custom role to grant this permission.

1. In the folder where you want to deploy the app, navigate to Automations > Apps. The Apps window is displayed.
2. Click Deploy app. The Deploy app window is displayed.
3. Select the desired published app from the App drop-down list.
4. Select the desired app version from the Version drop-down list.
5. Fill in the name in the Display name field. If left empty, the app's name will be used.
6. Fill in the description. By default, the description used for the specific version in UiPath Apps is used.
7. Click Deploy.

   • Public App Url: you can copy this URL and share the app.

The deployed app is listed in the Apps window.
