Setting up Attended Robots

Learn the fundamentals of attended robots.

Setting up Attended Robots for Groups

This procedure walks admins through the steps for enabling attended robots for a group of users. Groups are used to simplify administration for accounts with similar access, robot configuration, and licensing needs, that are managed together.

1. Reference a group in Orchestrator or edit an existing group and assign roles to it.
2. On the Robot setup tab, enable the toggle for the attended robot.
3. On the Robot settings tab, configure execution settings for the corresponding UiPath Robot.
4. Click Add. The group is referenced/updated. One attended floating robot is provisioned for each group member that signs into Orchestrator. An attended license is consumed by each user. Licenses are allocated on a first-come-first-served basis. If you want a license assigned to a different user, you must manually free one up by deallocating it from an existing user.

Setting up Attended Robots for Individual Accounts

This procedure walks admins through the steps for enabling attended robots for individual user accounts. This is recommended if group members require additional capabilities on top of those granted by group membership and it helps achieve granular control over robot configuration.

1. Add or edit a user account and assign roles to it.
2. On the Robot setup tab, enable the toggle for the attended robot.
3. On the Robot settings tab, configure execution settings for the corresponding UiPath Robot.
4. Click Add. The user account is created/updated. One attended floating robot is created for the user.
