How are assets typically managed in Orchestrator?

Assets in UiPath Orchestrator are typically managed as shared resources that can be accessed by multiple robots. This design facilitates efficiency and consistency across automation processes. When an asset is created in Orchestrator, it is stored centrally and can be utilized by any robot that has the necessary permissions to access that asset. This promotes a scalable approach, allowing different automation projects and robots to leverage common data, such as connection strings, credentials, configuration settings, or any other necessary pieces of information.

This shared management mechanism ensures that if an asset needs to be updated or modified, it can be done in one place rather than having to change it for each individual robot, which would be time-consuming and prone to errors. By centralizing asset management, organization and maintenance become much more streamlined, fostering better collaboration between different robotic processes within the same ecosystem. This capability is especially beneficial in larger deployments where numerous robots might be working across various projects, thus avoiding redundancy and reducing the risk of inconsistencies between robots' configurations.
