Hello everyone,

I would like to understand which is the meaning of the "Authenticate as Resource" setting in the User Permissions section and what entails enabling it.
Could please someone explain it better than the BP documentation?

Thanks,

Emiliano

Hi @Emiliano Rossi,

Authenticate as Resource is a permission​ that allows a runtime resource to be started using the /user flag. This basically means that the runtime resource will be started as the particular user account that's specified. Normally, RR's are not started using the /user flag. Instead, they have a more secure token-based process where they negotiate authentication.

Example:

"C:\Program Files\Blue Prism Limited\Blue Prism Automate\Automate.exe" /public /resourcepc /user rrtest rrtest /port 8182

If you tried using the above command to start a runtime resource, and the Authenticate as Resource permission was not present for the specified user account, you would see the following error:
