Introduction

UiPath® Automation Ops™ is a centralized, web-based platform that enables administrators to configure and deploy governance policies for UiPath® Studio, UiPath® Robot, and UiPath® Assistant. This on-premises release is delivered using the Automation Suite deployment model.

Governance policies offer control over various functionalities, ensure that standards are met and that rules are followed. Main features include:

• For StudioX, Studio, and Studio Pro:

  • Control which package sources are available in the Studio package manager.
  • Enforce organizational development standards using Workflow Analyzer rules. For example, you can determine which applications and URLs users are allowed to automate.
  • Enforce Studio design and location settings. For example, you can require that projects pass workflow analysis before being run or published.
  • Enable the collection of Studio usage data in your organization's Application Insights instance in Azure.
  • Control what repositories are allowed when working with GIT source control.
  • Prevent production runs from StudioX by limiting the number of consecutive executions that can be initiated from StudioX for projects with no changes.
  • Control what activities are available in StudioX.

• For Robot:

  • Control the behavior of the Robot at runtime by enforcing Runtime Analyzer rules to prevent sending emails to certain addresses or using certain applications and web pages in automations.

• For Assistant:

  • Manage access to widgets in UiPath® Assistant.

Automation Ops™ is flexible and easy to use, enabling you to quickly govern large deployments:

1. Select the policy templates to use depending on the product versions installed in your organization.

2. Create policies for the products you want to govern.

   If your organization is already using the file-based governance model for Studio, you can migrate your policies by generating files from Studio and uploading them in Automation Ops™.

3. Deploy policies at tenant, group, or user level, and any combination thereof.

Important:

If you were previously using file-based governance, when you visit the Deployment page for the first time, Automation Ops™ overwrites any existing file-based governance in your environment.

As it is expected that any file-based governance to no longer apply, make sure you import your already existing policies to Automation Ops™ and deploy them from here.

Automation Ops™ is compatible with Studio 2020.10.3 and later, Robot 2021.10 and later, and Assistant 2021.4 and later. Users must be connected to Orchestrator using interactive sign-in.
