Inheriting assets

Help Orchestrator
1

Hi everyone,

I am using Modern folders and Orchestrator 2020.10. I have the following folder structure:

Development
Production

  • Department 1
  • Department 2
  • Department 3

If I create an asset into the Production parentfolder, automatically the subfolders Department 1, Department2 and Department 3 could use it? or should I create the same asset into Department 1, Department 2 and Department 3.

Tks a lot

Hi @sergio.moreno

In the hierarchy Modern folder, they were not assigned by default. The assets weren’t visible until you provide an appropriate rights to it.

Hi

Tks for your help. As far as I understood you create assets per folder and you configure the rights for each user into a folder. My question is how could I create an asset in the parent folder and then how to use that asset on subfolder. My idea is to create a process in the subfolder which can take some assets which are created on the parent folder

Hi

I also have this issue, how I can make a subfolder inherit the assets of the folder?

Thanks

Me to, I have assets stored in Production and Test folders, and want to access them from subfolders. When I don’t provide a folder into get credential I get an error, and I don’t want to have to pass this as it will depend on the parent folder if it uses the live or test credential.

Hi @sergio.moreno, @TJ_automates,

U can use manage assets links for this, check this link:
Managing Assets in Orchestrator (uipath.com)

If you want to create an asset for all folder check this post:
Inherit processes in folder structure (modern folder) - Help / Orchestrator - UiPath Community Forum

Kind regards,
Robert

You cannot link assets that are not global, and that post talks about processes inheriting not assets. I would expect assets to work in the same way but they don’t.
