KillProcess closing application in all the user

[sandhiyakp15]

Hi,

We are using killProcess activity to kill the application which is opened but it’s closing for all users A, B, C instead of one user A. We have used “Applies to” is “OnlyCurrentUser” in property.

The Process was working fine in legacy orchestrator. We are facing this issue after we moved to cloud orchestrator.

Please suggest some ideas.

Thanks,
Sandhiya

@sandhiyakp15,

Try updating the UiPath.System.Activities package to latest version. If already on latest try downgrading by one version.

If still issue persists, you can use this workaround till you find a solution.

Hi @sandhiyakp15

Is the Robot user has admin user role in the server?

If so, Change the user from “Administrators” group to “Users” group or any other appropriate group that has the necessary permissions but not admin-level permissions.

I can think of this reason just check.

Hope this helps

Hi,

Can you please check below screenshot,

This is what we have, anything needs to be changed.

Not in orchestrator on the server level. If user is in admin group or power user this issue can come.

Check on the server user is in which group.

UiPath cloud Admin server right?

Thanks. We tried running different process in the same machine, it’s running fine. So, I think it’s not the machine issue. Is there any options?

With the same user you ran the other process?

Hi @sandhiyakp15,

How did you find out that process is killing an application for all those users on that machine?

Are all those users logged into the machine at the same time and running their processes?
Or have the application opened manually?
