Looks like the Orchestrator folder where you’re starting the Job has no account assigned. Your process requires a robot/machine that has credentials.

Hi @Binu_Balasubramanian,

Can you share some more details like have you created machine in you orchestrator? have you configured robot account to be used to run automation? Have you allocated runtime license to tenant → folder/machine

I Assume you are trying to run unattended from orchestrator:

Steps to configure robot account:

  1. Navigate Folder → Settings → Manage Access → click 3 dots on user to be used → Edit Access rules
  2. In roles, type and choose “Allow To be Automation User”
  3. In Enterprise robot setup, select “Custom Windows Credentials”
  4. Provide your credentials and save

Steps to setup machine:

  1. Navigate Tenant → Machines → Add Machine → Machine Template
  2. Fill details - Template Name as you laptop name, Production (Unattended) as 1 or more, click provision
  3. Capture machine id and secret & use it to connect to UiPath Assistant in your machine
  4. Check this link to connect: How to Connect UiPath Assistant with Orchestrator | UiPath
  5. Link machine to folder where you want run automation
  6. use this documentation: Orchestrator - Assigning Machine Objects to Folders
  7. Now you can try to run the automation

If you already have done this setup, then share some more details on the issue.

Make sure you have setup an unattended robot and assigned to the folder where you are trying to run the bot.
