By: Husan Mahey

Overview of this book

With an increase in the number of organizations deploying RPA solutions, Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is quickly becoming the most desired skill set for both developers starting their career and seasoned professionals. This book will show you how to use Automation Anywhere A2019, one of the leading platforms used widely for RPA. Starting with an introduction to RPA and Automation Anywhere, the book will guide you through the registration, installation, and configuration of the Bot agent and Control Room. With the help of easy-to-follow instructions, you’ll build your first bot and discover how you can automate tasks with Excel, Word, emails, XML, and PDF files. You’ll learn from practical examples based on real-world business scenarios, and gain insights into building more robust and resilient bots, executing external scripts such as VBScripts and Python, and adding error handling routines. By the end of this RPA book, you’ll have developed the skills required to install and configure an RPA platform confidently and have a solid understanding of how to build complex and robust, yet performant, bots.

Managing user administration

This is the centralized location where all users are set up. You can set the type of user, as well as allocate the type of license for them. By selecting Users from the ADMINISTRATION option on the menu pane, you will see the following interface:

All users are managed here. You can assign a specific role to a user, such as Bot agent (Bot agents have no access to the underlying code but can only run a bot), bot creator, and custom-defined roles. Also, a different device can be allocated to each user.

The easy-to-use intuitive interface of Automation Anywhere Control Room makes managing bots, devices, and users very easy.
