Automation 360

Automation 360 Control Room supports integration with multiple external key vaults within a single tenant. Authorized user can connect different external key vault providers and multiple instances of the same provider and use them alongside the built-in Automation Anywhere Credential Vault.

Note: Multiple key vault management is supported only on Cloud deployments of Automation 360.
Authorized user can perform the following actions to manage multiple key vaults:
  • Add new key vault configurations
  • View and edit existing configurations and connection settings
  • Delete vault configurations
Actions such as adding, editing, or deleting the vault require user confirmation and are recorded in audit logs. See External key vault audit entries.
