About Private Test Cloud

Private Test Cloud is the self-hosted UiPath business platform that allows you to manage multiple UiPath products as one integrated solution. It provides a comprehensive set of tools and services for end-to-end automation, including process mining, document understanding, test management, and more. Private Test Cloud offers flexibility in deployment options, allowing you to install it on-premises or in the cloud. With Private Test Cloud you can enable or disable specific products based on your needs.

Private Test Cloud includes the following:

• All server products, except for any new products shipping in cloud first.
• All shared suite capabilities that enable you to easily configure the integration with existing enterprise systems, such Microsoft Entra ID or SAML, across all products. We offer a common experience across the suite for the user, tenant, external applications, and license management.
• Common end-user portal.

About Private Test Cloud

Private Test Cloud is the on-premises deployment of Test Cloud — UiPath's dedicated platform for modern application testing. It runs on self-managed infrastructure and is the counterpart to the UiPath-hosted version of Test Cloud.

You may encounter the term "Private Test Cloud" in older content. This phrasing was used as a working label but is technically inaccurate: Test Cloud and Automation Suite are two distinct products. Private Test Cloud is not deployed on Automation Suite — both products share the same infrastructure flavors (Linux, AKS/EKS, and OpenShift) and the same installation guides and prerequisites, with only minimal differences called out directly in the installation guide. The term "Private Test Cloud" accurately describes what this deployment is: Test Cloud running on your own private, self-managed infrastructure.

Product and service offering

The UiPath platform consists of various products designed to automate processes, enhance collaboration, and drive operational efficiency:

• Action Center UiPath Action Center is a tool designed to help you manage and resolve exceptions, errors, or decisions that require human intervention in your automation workflows.

¹ While these products are available in Private Test Cloud, using them requires a hybrid licensing approach: you need both Automation Suite and Private Test Cloud Unified Pricing licenses. For example, the Process Mining service appears in your Private Test Cloud organization, but to use it you must also have the UiPath - Uni - Platform Enterprise plan assigned to your organization in addition to the App Test Platform Enterprise plan, along with the user licenses that grant access and allow actions in Process Mining. For licensing details specific to each service, refer to the product's respective guide. For more information on plans and user licenses, refer to Unified Pricing: Licensing plan framework.

About Identity Server

UiPath® Identity Server is a service that offers centralized authentication and access control across UiPath products. Its purpose is to provide a coherent experience and parity of functionality for authentication and some aspects of authorization across all UiPath products and services. For Identity Server, these products and services are considered clients.

With the integration of Identity Server, its clients have a shared onboarding and user management experience. Behind the scenes, authentication is performed via Identity Server, which offers SSO experience and generates tokens to communicate with other products via APIs. Once a user signs in, Identity Server seamlessly performs the calls when accessing other products or services. The sign-out experience is similar - once a user signs out of one client, Identity Server performs the sign-out calls to all the other clients.

Identity Server also acts as a federation gateway, supporting external identity providers, thus shielding its client applications from details of how to connect to these external providers.

Identity Server offers Authentication as a Service, containing the centralized login logic and workflow for all its integrated applications, making it easier for services to integrate with each other over one standard protocol family: OAuth. It is built in.NET Core 3.1 on top of the IdentityServer4 open-source library, and supports the OpenID Connect and OAuth 2.0 frameworks.
