Hi All,
I have the following question and would appreciate any suggestions:
I am trying to start an RPA task using a test user who has Basic User access in the environment. However, the robotic task does not start. If I use a user with System Administrator access and who is also part of the RPA Operation Console group, the task starts successfully.
As developers, we need System Administrator access for development purposes, but real-time users should only have Basic User access. I have also added the test user to the RPA task’s permission tag and included the permission tag of what the RPA task has for the respective user in the Appian RPA group. Despite this, the RPA instance is still not triggered.
So, my question is: Is it possible for a user with Basic User access in the environment to start/trigger an RPA task? If yes, what configuration or permissions are required to make this work?
User Profile in Environment:
Added RPA task's Permission tag for the user
Added User in the RPA Task as Permission Tag

A Basic User can trigger an RPA task only if they have matching RPA permission tags and are added to the correct RPA groups with execute permissions; otherwise, they cannot start the task.Also, Check user has initiator rights on the process model calling the RPA taskhttps://docs.appian.com/suite/help/25.4/rpa-9.16/security-rpa.html
