Can I restrict access to a Work Queue?

astrid.stollberger — Tue, 01 Oct 2019 12:35:00 GMT

Hi there,

is there a way to restrict access to a BP work queue?

We have a case, where we have sensitive information stored in a Work Queue and we want to avoid that other processes / users can use "get next item" on this queue.

Thanks & regards,

I'm really interested in how to make this happened.

Hi Astrid,

I don't think there's any access management for that in current versions.
But some questions, are you using different environments for developing and/or testing and production? Is this functionality only of interest in production environment? I suppose access to create/develop robots in the same environment as that specific work queue would grant the ability to use "get next item" on the work queue and expose it to a user, other than that I can't think of any other way that a user can use "get next item" on that Work Queue. Given that you use separated environments, aren't you doing any validation/testing of what is being created/developed? Like a review or acceptance test of what's been developed? I feel like that would be a good mitigation for potentially exposing that sensitive information to someone unauthorized.

Try clicking the Active Queue option on the Work Queue configuration screen. That allows for process and resource group allocation. I can't say I have tried it but an idea for you to play with 🙂
