A user who schedules an automation is the owner of that activity. If the user account of the owner is deactivated or is no longer available, change the ownership of that activity to ensure that it can be managed by another existing Control Room user.

Prerequisites

Ensure you are logged in to the Control Room as the administrator or a user with the following permissions:

  • Access to the selected bot (same as when the user tries to schedule a bot).

    See Schedule an automation.

  • Access to the selected Run as users (same as when the user tries to schedule a bot).
  • Access to the device pool (if it was selected in the schedule).

Procedure

  1. Navigate to Manage > Scheduled.
  2. From the Activity table, select the scheduled activity for which you want to change ownership.
    You can select multiple activities or select the Check all check box to select all the available activities such as Task Bots and processes.

    For more information on how the change in ownership of multiple activities works, see How changing ownership of multiple activities works.

  3. Click the Change owner icon at the top of the table.
  4. Click Yes, change to confirm.
  5. In the Change owner screen that opens with all the available users, select the user that you want to transfer the ownership to, and click the right arrow (→).

  6. Click Confirm.
    The ownership of the selected activity is changed or transferred to the specified user. You can verify the changes in the Owned by column (scroll across the table) and the audit log will contain the details of the original and changed owner of the scheduled activity.
