Is it impossible to do it without the Orchestrator?
As we are using it in our company, if we want to use the Orchestrator we have to buy the licence first.
Protected excel is an example only, we want to protect the Robot.
As we are going to design several Robots for different teams, and all Robots will be saved into a shared Folder that all teams can access to it.
We want to add a password to protect the Robot that every time they click a Robot, they have to input an assigned password that the Robot will not be run by other team by mistake.
How about using the Input dialog at the beggining of your workflow to enter the password and then matching it with the saved password?
This is the sample workflow. PasswordTest.xaml (7.5 KB)
Thanks. May i know how to use the Windows credential to protect the Robot?
We do use the Windows credential. We use it to save many application passwords (eg:SAP, outlook) for the Robot to call, this allows the Robot to access to all applications without interruption.
You can try storing credential in credential manager and prompt user for the password on robo start.
If input password matches credential then run ahead else terminate.
