Application: Assume user identity authentication flow (Patent ID: US20240070257A1)
The patent filed by UiPath Inc. describes a method and system for providing pre-authorized access to a robotic process automation (RPA) for a resource associated with a job. The method involves the controller causing the RPA to assume a user identity during an authentication flow, issuing tokens to the RPA, and enabling the identity service governing the resource to participate in operations to provide pre-authorized access. The system includes a controller executed on at least one processor, with the controller configured to enable access by the RPA to the resource by assuming a user identity, issuing tokens, and involving the identity service in providing pre-authorized access.
The claims associated with the patent detail the specific steps and components involved in the method and system, such as the job being a unit of work executed by the RPA, the controller being a robot controller with policies and technologies, the RPA being agent software, and the identity service ensuring appropriate access. The claims also cover aspects like confirming pre-authorized privileges for the controller, RPA, and job, pointing the RPA to a credential vault for credentials, and the types of resources involved, such as servers, databases, or file systems. Overall, the patent focuses on streamlining the authentication and access process for RPAs to efficiently carry out tasks associated with specific jobs.
