How Action Center licensing will work when enforced?

Hi @Liji,

I understand currently licensing for action center is not enforced, however will be done sooner so wanted to understand how will this work when enforced.

Lets say environment structure is as below:

So, for a developer to be able to develop and test action center process in dev and uat respectively(non-prod orchestrator), that developer would require 2 Action center licenses or just 1 should work?

I know for prod anyways, additional license will be required but what would be the behavior for non-prod as it is 1 server with 2 tenants in it?

Hi Sonali,
License enforcements even for business users will not be tenant specific, but account specific as per our thought process today.
Hence in if non-prod and dev are two tenants , one license should suffice.

Thanks, Liji

Hi @Liji,

Thank you for your inputs on this :slight_smile:

This indeed gave us a relief :stuck_out_tongue: we were under impression its gonna consume 2 licenses for 1 user on non-prod with 2 tenants.

However, we do have a follow-up question to this:

How is/will Action center identify who has logged in?

Currently, when I see my account info on Action center, It only shows my email id.
So is it identifying using email id of user or AD account info linked on orchestrator for that user?
If it is by email id, then will 2 licenses be consumed if person is logging in with separate email id as 1 user can have different email id?

I do not have the details on enforcements yet, however we should ideally be relying on a unique identifier for a user, like a username . This will work well for a local user, however for AD users, I need to work with identity team on relying on a unique identifier .
For my understand, could you let me know , how often is the case that a user will use multiple email Ids to login to UiPath? Is this case with every user or some set of users ?
Thanks, Liji

Hi @Liji,

We are also thinking of such scenarios as of now.

This question really was raised seeing difference in the profile section for orchestrator and action center.

In orchestrator, profile references include AD account user name as well as user email id.

However, in action center, we see only email id is being referred.

This made us question what would be the actual identifier for action center users?
