Assistant Governance
You can use UiPath Automation Ops to govern UiPath Assistant. Automation Ops allows you to manage and implement governance policies based on user profiles. Governance policies offer control over various functionalities, and make sure that the rules are followed.
You can create and deploy policies per tenant for each type of license, per group, or per user. You must configure the policy details and the product settings for each policy you create or edit.
More information on how to Create a Governance Policy.
The policy you create for the UiPath Assistant allows you to:
- Choose if you allow users to install their own custom widgets.
- Choose if you want to use the UiPath Official widget feeds. If you choose Yes, the widgets will be downloaded from either the official feed or your libraries feed. If you choose No, then only the Orchestrator library feeds will be enabled.
- List the widgets that you want your users to have access to by simply adding the name and the version of the NuGet package.
Note: When switching the tenant from UiPath Assistant, the Automation Ops policy from the new tenant applies.
Widgets are plugins that add functionality to the Assistant. The Widgets tab enables you to control user access to widgets.
Some widgets are added by default. On the Widgets tab, you can choose the widgets you want to deploy to your users.
See the Settings for Assistant Policies for more details.

of Marketplace and Apps Widgets.

the specific configuration is moved automatically into the new policy.json
