After you build an automation in Control Room, you require Bot Agent to run that automation. Use your macOS device to download Bot Agent from Control Room.
- Starting from Automation 360 v.38 release, you can register your default macOS device using the Safari browser for
Cloud deployment.
As Safari browser is currently not supported for registering your default device on On-Premises deployment, ensure that you use Google Chrome to register your device on Control Room.
- Ensure that you have Control Room administrator account in order to download and install Bot Agent.
- The Bot Agent installer is downloaded as a
.pkg file.
When you download Bot Agent for the first time on your macOS device, a user's consent screen is displayed. Ensure that you click Open in order to download the Bot Agent .pkg file.
- Ensure that you grant Bot Agent access
to the following applications and permissions during Bot Agent installation by navigating to :
-
Accessibility
Controls the macOS device for deploying automations (such as mouse and keyboard control).

AutoLoginAgent
If you intend to use auto-login or unattended automation, ensure that you grant these permissions to AutoLoginAgent.Note: AutoLoginAgent might be listed separately in the macOS permissions dialogs.
-
Automation
To automate tasks within other applications (such as browser, Microsoft Office, and so on).
-
Full Disk Access

-
Java
If your automations interact with Java applications on macOS, ensure that you grant the same permissions as you have for the Bot Agent and AutoLoginAgent.
