I want to know how long it will take for the account to log out and need to log in again if the robot account does not run any processes and does not interact with UiPath Assistant after logging in.

The logout duration for a robot account in UiPath depends on the session timeout settings configured for the machine and the UiPath Orchestrator. Here’s what you need to check:

1. Windows Session Timeout

• If the robot is running on a Windows machine, the machine’s session timeout settings will determine when the user session (robot account) logs out.
• By default, Windows might lock the session after inactivity based on the screensaver or power settings. This doesn’t necessarily log the account out but may require re-authentication.

2. UiPath Assistant Inactivity

• UiPath Assistant does not impose its own logout timer. If you remain logged into the UiPath Assistant, it will stay connected unless the machine’s session is logged out or locked.

3. UiPath Orchestrator Settings

• If the robot is connected to UiPath Orchestrator, inactivity does not trigger automatic logout of the robot in Orchestrator. The robot will stay connected until the session is terminated or Orchestrator is explicitly configured to disconnect inactive robots.

4. Machine-Specific Settings

• IT or admin policies may enforce logout or session termination after a specified period of inactivity.

To Adjust This Behavior:

• Windows Settings: Configure power options, screensaver settings, or group policy to extend or disable automatic logout.
• UiPath Orchestrator: Ensure no specific timeout settings are limiting robot sessions.
• Virtual Machines (if applicable): Check VM idle timeout settings (e.g., in Citrix, RDP).

To identify the exact duration, test the scenario or consult with your IT team for machine and policy settings. If you provide more details about your environment, I can guide you further!
