Help Automation Cloud

Hi guys,

Is there a way to create the local account at UiPath Cloud? We are migrating from on-premises. We just want to set up couple local testing account. Maybe I miss somewhere. Cannot find the way to create the account

thanks,
Steven

Hi @steven.deng,

What do you mean by setting up a local account?

I was recently involved in migrating from on-premise to cloud and this is our process:

  1. Current state → machines and bot accounts in production connected to on-premise orchestrator
  2. Dedicate one machine to connect to cloud orchestrator, install latest Studio
  3. Create all bot accounts in cloud orchestrator with same settings as on-premise
  4. Use the UiPath Orchestrator migration tool to copy from on-premise and create on cloud:
    4.1 Packages
    4.2 Processes
    4.3 Assets
    4.4 Queues
    4.5 Triggers
  5. Transition state → gradually test and deploy processes in cloud orchestrator
  6. Disconnect more machines from on-premise and connect to cloud orchestrator
  7. For each process successfully deployed to cloud, disable trigger on the on-premise side
  8. End state → all processes running from cloud, all machines and bot accounts connected to cloud

All machines and bot accounts remain on-premise.
Only difference is they are now connected to cloud orchestrator instead of on-premise orchestrator.

Hope this helps.

Hi.
I found the account related info at UiPath document. Thank you for the thoughtful migration strategy and valuable suggestions

Hey Steven - I have the same scenario wo hoping you could point me in the right direction and share a link to the Documentation that you found. We too migrated from On-Prem to Cloud and need to setup a few Users as just Local Users - meaning that they can log into Orchestrator to manually start & kick off Jobs but nothing more. They do not require nor need Attended or Unattended Licensing. We used to be able to easily do this with On.Prem Orchestrator but not so clear in Cloud instance and seems that we have to allocate them a Automation User License.
