Amazon Scope
The Amazon Textract activities use the AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) service to establish an authenticated connection between UiPath and your AWS resources. This connection enables a Robot to call the Amazon Textract APIs to read and write resources on your behalf.
To establish an authenticated connection, you create or use an existing IAM user and generate access keys (Access Key Id and Secret Access Key). When you create your IAM user, you assign the policies and permissions that specify the resources your Robot can access (e.g., AmazonTextractFullAccess).
After creating your IAM user and assigning your policies, you enter the Access Key Id and Secret Access Key in the Amazon Scope activity. When you run your automation project, the keys are used to sign the API requests being made by each of the activities.
The following steps and message sequence diagram is an example of how the activity works from design time (i.e., the activity dependencies and input/output properties) to run time.
- Complete the Setup steps.
- Add the Amazon Scope activity to your project.
-
Enter values for the Authentication properties.
The values for the following properties are specified when adding this activity to your project in UiPath Studio.

To retrieve the Secret Access Key, see one of the following sections in the AWS documentation: See additional note and image below. |
If you're using an existing IAM user and no longer have the Secret Access Key, you create a new one by clicking the Create access key button in your IAM user summary - this action also creates a new a Access Key Id
After you click the Create access key button a dialogue box opens. Per the AWS instructions: "Choose Download .csv file to save the access key ID and secret access key to a CSV file on your computer. Store the file in a secure location. You will not have access to the secret access key again after this dialog box closes. After you have downloaded the CSV file, choose Close."
Amazon recommends frequent key rotation, so you can create new keys at anytime if you can't find the Secret Access Key associated with your Access Key ID. If you do create new keys, be sure to update any Amazon Scope activities in your existing projects.
