    See System-created roles.
    Note: When you logged in as administrator, you cannot allocate any device license to the user and None option is selected by default.

    Unattended Bot Runner - Run-time license Users with this license can perform all automation tasks that attended users can perform. Additionally, this license can also be used for Control Room deployment, centralized scheduling, and API-based deployment.
    Attended Bot Runner - Run-time license Users with this license can run bots on their devices and use any event trigger associated with their user account or role. However, these users cannot schedule bots.
    Citizen Developer - Development license Users with this license can create and run bots (including bots with triggers) on their devices.

    The Bypass legal disclaimer option is automatically enabled to allow the user to run bots on a device without having to manually acknowledge a disclaimer.

    After you select a device license, the Device login credentials are enabled. If you have the Attest device credentials permission, you can choose to attest the device credentials for this user to bypass credential validation when you deploy bots. The Bot Runner user should have an unlocked and active user session.
    Note: This works only if the auto login setting Reuse an existing session is selected in the Control Room by the administrator.
