• All machines are available for selection, but they need to be assigned at least one unattended runtime to be fit for execution. Templates with no runtimes attached are illustrated using a icon.
• Adding the machine alone to a folder does not grant UiPath Robot access to the processes in that folder. The corresponding user needs to be added as well. See the procedures above on how to add the user to a folder.

Updating User-Machine Mappings

Learn about user-machine mappings.
Folder mappings work as subsets of tenant mappings, in that user-machine configuration done at the folder level allows you to create a more granular subset of allowed user-machine pairs defined on the tenant.

1. From the Folders page, in the Manage Folders pane, click the folder you want to change mappings for.
2. On the Machine tab, click More Actions > Update user mappings for folder. The Edit user mappings window is displayed.
3. Select the mapping strategy:

• Inherit from tenant - No specific mappings in place for this folder on top of the ones defined for the tenant.
• Specific user-machine mappings for this folder - Configure specific user-machine pairs on which execution is allowed in this folder.

4. For a specific mapping strategy, select the users for whom execution is allowed on the machine in question, in this particular folder.

Similarly, you can configure user-machine mappings directly in the context of the folder on the Settings page (Settings > Machines).

Moving Folders

---

🚧

Note:

Any processes using the FolderPath feature of activities may be broken when the folder is moved. Ensure processes have the correct folder path at all times.

You are only permitted to move folders to tree structures that use the same package feed as the folder to be moved.

• A folder that uses the tenant feed can be moved under folders that use the tenant feed. Similarly, it can be converted into a first-level folder that uses the tenant feed.
• A folder that has its own package feed cannot be moved outside its tree structure.

1. From the Folders page, in the Manage Folders pane, click on the folder you want to move. The folder and its users are displayed on the dashboard.
2. Click the More Actions button and select Move. The Move Folder window is displayed.
3. Use the radio buttons to select where to move this folder. The available options are:
   • under an existing Modern Folder - move the selected folder under another modern folder. Note this cannot be done if the move would exceed the 7-level depth limit or if another folder with that name already exists in that hierarchy.
   • as First Level Folder - changes the selected folder to a root-level folder with the same permission model as before.
4. User the Search bar or folder hierarchy to select where to move this folder.
5. Select Continue. A confirmation window appears displaying user access rights impacted by the change.
6. Select Confirm to complete the action or Cancel to abort.

Deleting Folders

---

1. Select the desired folder from the Manage Folders pane of the Folders page.
2. Click the More Actions button and select Remove. A confirmation prompt is displayed advising you of the associated entities that will be deleted.
3. Click No to cancel or Yes to confirm the deletion.

📘

When a folder is deleted, the following effects occur:

• All contained entities are deleted.
• All associated users and machines are "detached" (i.e., unassigned) for that folder.
• Any active triggers are disabled.
• Any pending jobs are stopped and/or killed and deleted.
• No webhooks associated with this folder are sent.

Running jobs in folders whose deletion failed does not work.
