Hi @hughabbott

Please go to the corresponding user under Users tab and uncheck this option.

Also check the Attended tab to avoid creating attended robots in a similar manner.

A massive thank-you to @RPAForEveryone !
( by the way, this is not documented anywhere else … so really appreciated )

That worked perfectly !!!

But I have a couple of more questions

1. how did you know about this problem / solution
2. and why have UiPath set this as a default
3. what is it good for ?

@hughabbott
Hey mate, you’re welcome. I am glad to be of assistance!

It is described in detail on the Managing Users page.
Although, I do see your point that it’s easy to miss if you’re looking at Robots tab, while the solution sits under Users tab.

1. Experience/tinkering around
2. (and 3.) In my limited knowledge, I think the default setting is provided to make the floating-type machines, robots, etc to be easily provisioned at scale.
   Imagine a world where you’d need to manually create a robot for each user you provision.

What’s the fun in that!
But that’s just what I think. There’s probably a better technical explanation for that.
