This article walks RPA developers, citizen developers, and business users through the steps for running personal automations from Orchestrator by manually launching a job via the **Start Job** functionality or by using a trigger.

Prerequisites:

* You or an administrator previously [deployed the background process](https://docs.uipath.com/orchestrator/standalone/2024.10/user-guide/managing-processes#managing-processes) you want to execute to a folder you have access to.
* An administrator allocated the unattended infrastructure for running jobs by adding a machine template object to the folder.

## Start a Job as Yourself

1. Navigate to **Automations** > **Jobs** in the folder the background process resides in.
2. Select **Start**. The **Start Job** window is displayed.
3. From the **Process Name** drop-down, select the process you want to execute.
4. From the **Account** drop-down, select **Run as Myself (Personal automation)** to execute the job under your own identity. Note that this option is available only for background processes.
5. Configure the other settings following the instructions provided in the [Starting a job](https://docs.uipath.com/orchestrator/standalone/2024.10/user-guide/managing-jobs#managing-jobs) documentation.
6. Select **Start** to start the job. The job is displayed as **Pending** on the **Jobs** page until a robot is available to pick it up.

## Configure a Trigger to Launch Jobs as Yourself

1. Navigate to **Automations** > **Triggers** in the folder the background process resides in.
2. Select **Add a new trigger**. The **Create trigger** window is displayed.
3. On the **Name** field, give your trigger a meaningful name.
4. From the **Process Name** drop-down, select the process you want that trigger to launch jobs for.
5. From the **Account** drop-down, select **Run as Myself (Personal automation)** to execute the jobs launched by the trigger under your own identity. Note that this option is available only for background processes.
6. Configure the other settings following the instructions provided in the [Managing triggers](https://docs.uipath.com/orchestrator/standalone/2024.10/user-guide/managing-jobs#managing-jobs) documentation.
7. Select **Add** to add the trigger. The trigger is displayed in the **Triggers** page and will launch a job under your own identity according to the trigger configuration.
