Assign the Discovery Bot custom role to a user

Create a new user and assign the Discovery Bot custom role you created to the user.

Prerequisites

Ensure that you have purchased the necessary Discovery Bot licenses for your business users: Prerequisites for Discovery Bot.

To use the Discovery Bot features, the user must be assigned the appropriate role and licenses.
Note: The Discovery Bot Admin role and permissions are distinct from the Control Room Admin role. See Discovery Bot users.

Custom role users will see a different set of menu actions (vertical ellipsis icon) available on a tile for a process, depending on the permissions given to users. These actions are different from the standard Discovery Bot user actions that are available on a tile for a process.

For this custom role use case, the following actions are available on a tile for a process:

Admin actions
  • View process details
  • Edit process details
  • Delete process
Business user actions
  • Start recording

    The Start Recording icon is displayed on a tile for a process, or you can select start recording from the vertical ellipsis icon.

  • Edit my recording
Analyst action
Analyze processes
