As UiPath has scaled significantly in recent years, our offerings have evolved from originally serving Studio, Attended, Unattended robots managed only by Orchestrator, to providing a full-scale platform.
User License Management is not a new feature. We launched it some years back(2021), and it’s available only in the Automation Cloud and Automation Suite deployments. This feature moves the user license management configs from Orchestrator (that only manages Attended and Studios) to the portal licensing (which manages licenses for all the services that require a user license for access.
Up until today, after enabling User License Management, the admin would have had to reassign the user licenses (Attended, Automation Developer) to users or groups.
Today, when enabling User License Management, we automatically migrate all your assignments from Orchestrator to Portal licensing. Since Orchestrator license management is at tenant level, there are some considerations you need to take into account before enabling. Please check the docs: Automation Cloud - User license management
Highlights
This feature does NOT change any configuration in your organization. The organization admin still needs to enable the feature manually, so there is no direct impact.
Enabling User Licensing Management will enforce SSO for all Attended robots in Orchestrator.
After enabling User License Management, you cannot disable this feature again in Community organizations.
This feature improvement is currently being released in Community organizations, with the plan to make it available gradually to Enterprise organizations as well in the following weeks.
