Hub administration and configuration

When SS&C | Blue Prism® Hub is installed for an organization, it is delivered with a main administrator role. This role is used to configure the environment with information for items such as email and connection to your RPA database.

Hub utilizes Role Based Access Control (RBAC) to ensure that users can only access functionality required to perform their role within their organization.

The top navigation bar in Hub provides access to the system settings. The settings that are available depend upon the user role. There are a number of settings which are not available to users without administrator capabilities enabled on their account, as detailed below.

The features on the top navigation bar include:

When the navigation menu on the left is expanded (as shown above), these features are shown:

  1. Profile icon – Defined by the user in their profile. If you are:

    • A user, this provides a link to your profile page.
    • An administrator, this provides a link to the system settings from which the following can be controlled:
      • Personal profile and audit.
      • Platform management.
      • User management.
  2. User information – This is hidden when the navigation menu is collapsed.
  3. Page title – The area of the Hub user interface you are currently using.
  4. Environment – The currently selected environment. Environments are set up in the environment manager and can be selected here.
  5. Notification alerts – Notifications are created by the Automation Lifecycle Management plugin. Only notifications that you are authorized to see, or that are applicable to you, will show when you click the alert.
  6. Toggle menu – Opens and closes the menu. When the menu is open, the names of the menu items display. When the menu is closed, icons display for each menu item.
