Configuring profile and device credentials

Once your device is visible on the listed devices in Control Room, you may need to configure the user profile for that device. Imagine that we build a bot and deploy it to your device, but the device is locked or you are not logged in to it. Automation Anywhere will need to log in to the device. In order to achieve this, we need to set the login user credentials for the device.

This is achieved with the following steps:

1. Once in Control Room, from the Home screen, click on the local device icon, followed by Update credentials:

2. The dialog will allow you to update the Device password. Enter the user password for the device and click on Update:

3. Your device has now been successfully configured.

Great work! We have now got our device all ready to start working with Control Room. Control Room is set up with a user profile and a device.
