Hi UiPath Community,
I’m working on some automation projects, and I’m considering storing my process configuration file in Orchestrator storage buckets. My thinking is that this could help with centralized access for multiple bots and make updates easier.
But I’m wondering if this is considered a best practice or not ?
I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences on this!
Thanks!
In our organization we store configuration in Orchestrations Asset in format of JSON string.
In case you store configuration in Excel format using Orchestration Bucket could be good option.
Keep in mind that Buckets are defined at folder level - you can’t have Tenant level Bucket.
As disadvantage could be considered that Buckets have no version controll.
Cheers
@J0ska, we do the same.
You’re spot on; since storage buckets are only accessible at the folder level, we often have projects with multiple processes in the same folder due to their complexity. Buckets have been really useful for managing files(.pdf, excel, config file, etc.), especially when certain values need updating. As you mentioned, Orchestrator assets work well for configuration too, but buckets provide a practical alternative in these cases.
However, my concern is regarding best practices—specifically, whether using buckets for config files is advisable or if there are potential security issues, even with access controls in place.
its perfectly safe to save …we do follow the same…
there are no security issues…but just to prevent some accidental deletioon better to maintain copy
cheers
I suppose it’s as safe as the overal Orchestrator is.
I can see only one risk: To read the configuration file you need to download to some temp location first. In case the config contains some confidential data then the temp location needs to be secure also.
Cheers
