User profile settings

The following settings will need to be configured on each of the Blue Prism interactive clients used for developing processes and each Blue Prism runtime resource. Explicitly the settings will need to be applied for user accounts that will be used to develop and configure processes; and for the accounts used by the runtime resources to access the network and authenticate with third-party applications.

  • Power saver options – To reduce the required complexity of the processes, screen-locking and screen savers should be disabled.
  • Prerequisites for the target applications – Connectivity and prerequisites for each of the target applications that will be automated need to be configured. (e.g. network connectivity, thick-clients, client-side technologies etc.).
  • Screen Resolutions – The screen resolution settings should be consistently applied across the runtime resources and the interactive clients used for development.
  • Font-smoothing – Where target applications are presented using thin-client technology such as Citrix, font-smoothing will need to be disabled for the users.
  • Aero/Glass Themes – The display theme should be set to not use transparent or opaque window borders.
  • Default Login Settings (Security Policy) – Where Blue Prism Login Agent will be used it is necessary to disable the requirement for CTRL + ALT + DEL to be pressed prior to interactively logging on. Also logon messages such as Usage Access Policies will need to be disabled.
  • SAP GUI Scripting – This setting should be enabled for the appropriate users if automating SAP via the GUI.
