Permission Denied for Kill Process Activity in UiPath Assistant

Hi every one
I’m facing an issue when trying to execute the Kill Process activity from the UiPath Assistant or Orchestrator. The error message says: “Permission Denied.”

Here’s some context about my situation:

  • I am already an administrator on my Windows machine, so I believe it’s not related to OS permissions.
  • The robot is connected to UiPath Orchestrator, and I suspect the problem may be related to permissions or roles within UiPath.
  • The most interesting part: When I run the same Kill Process activity directly from UiPath Studio Desktop, it works perfectly. The issue only occurs when executing it from the Assistant.

Could anyone guide me on how to configure the necessary permissions in Orchestrator or the Assistant to ensure that the activity works properly? Specifically:

  • What role permissions should be granted to my user in Orchestrator to allow Kill Process activity execution?
  • Are there specific settings or configurations in UiPath Assistant that I need to check or modify?

I appreciate any insights or guidance you can provide. Thank you in advance!

Try configuring property AppliesTo - OnlyCurrentUser

It is already configured this way (as shown in the screenshot, it is only displayed in Spanish).

Hi @Matias_Clemente.Arg

Please do below:

  1. change the process name to “chrome”.

  2. change the setting to “applies to current session” instead of current user.

  3. and set continue on error property to true

Hope this helps.

Indeed, that was the solution. Kind regards.
