Automation Workshop can take care of multi-user Windows environments. Various users may have different access to files and folders. Thus it is very important to correctly specify user credentials for automated task execution.
Normally, the Run As properties are first set upon creating Task in Task Wizard run as properties.
Task run as properties
| Run as properties | Description |
| If user is logged in | Interactive mode - if user is already logged on, Automation Workshop can access the same graphical user interface (GUI) and file / folder / network resources that are available for user. |
| If user is logged off | Non-interactive mode - if no user is logged on, Automation Workshop runs in non-interactive mode which means that it can access file / folder / network resources that specified credentials entitle to; however, access to graphical user interface options is limited. |
| Specified user name | If Run as specified user is selected either for interactive or non-interactive Task execution, user credentials are required:
