Share user account between Test and Prod Windows 10 PAD machines?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hello All,

I've finally convinced our CIO to migrate away from our current RPA solution to Power Automate with Power Automate Desktop.

 

We have a single Active Directory account on our domain. I plan to license it so that we have the user license and unattended license for that user.

 

Would it be possible to use that user on both a TEST installation (Windows 10 VM in Azure) and our PROD installation (Windows 10 VM in Azure)? I need to be sure that I could have scheduled unattended processes running while developing and testing new PAD programs on the test installation...with no negative impact / interaction.

 

Is this possible? 

Thanks,

Kel

    Yes. That should not be a problem.

    HOWEVER: Be advised that the $150 Unattended RPA add-on is not added to the user, but added to a Power Automate Environment.

    Hello Henrick,

    Thank you very much. I now understand that the 150 Unattended RPA add-on is a per-concurrent-bot charge.
