Hi @Allan_Zimmermann
I am creating new user in my openflow. And when i login to opnerpa through that user and try to import prjoject. But i got only limited files there. what i am missing in the whole process. Is there any roles issue or anything. Help me

You can control permissions per user or per role.
I highly recommend you always use a role to control it.

  • So create a new role. let’s call it “my role”
  • Add you new and old user to the role.
  • Open OpenRPA and login as your original user, on each project you want to share with both users, Select the project, then click Permissions, and then add “my role” and give it suitable permissions.
  • Logout of OpenRPA and login as the new user, you should now be able to see the projects you shared.

The reason we do it from openrpa and not openflow, is we need to propagate the permissions to each workflows and all the images associated with each workflow. OpenRPA will handle that for you, as long as you remember to select the project and not a workflow.

Yes @Allan_Zimmermann . i understand that But i am trying to import another project on open RPA . i will explain you. Let’s call it project_1 so project is creating with username “viveksharma” and i share these flows with “botuser”. This bot user code is live and it is on server. So now i also want to do some changes in my code. but i am unable to do it with “viveksharma " because that code is live. so for this i am creating another user that is"vivekprod” now i am trying to import the project in with user but i don’t get all files while importing. i hope you understand my issue. Thanks for reply

I think I understand, yes.

You cannot have two work item queues with the same name, and you cannot have the same queue added to multiple projects. So, you have two solutions. Since you say one project is for dev/test and the other is for prod, I believe you should go for option 2.

  1. In OpenRPA, you can go to the work item queue and “unselect” the project. This way, the queue is not tied to a project, so you will not be constantly trying to import a work item queue that will fail when you reimport it. You can still use the work item queue from any project. The reason you can add a work item queue to a project is to make it easy to export/import a project, including the work item queues, when moving projects across different Opencores. It was never intended to be used on the SAME Opencore.

  2. If both projects are on the same Opencore, you can simply add your user to both projects, but only allow the “prod” user access to the prod project. Then in each project, use DIFFERENT work item queues (you should not be testing on production queues anyway). Then inside OpenRPA, when you are done testing, simply drag the workflow files over to the prod project to update it. OpenRPA will automatically reload any workflow that is updated from another OpenRPA client.
