RG-USG-003 Robot Type Activity Restrictions

Description

RG-USG-003 defines lists of forbidden activities for Attended and Unattended robot types.

This allows tailored governance to forbid activities that prompt user input for Unattended robots but allow their use with Attended robots.

Default Values:

Attended:
System.Activities.Statements.WriteLine;UiPath.Mail.SMTP.Activities.SendMail

Unattended:
UiPath.Core.Activities.MessageBox;UiPath.Core.Activities.InputDialog;UiPath.Core.Activities.SelectFile;UiPath.Core.Activities.SelectFolder;UiPath.Core.Activities.InvokeWorkflowInteractive;UiPath.System.Activities.CustomInput;UiPath.Core.Activities.IndicateOnScreen;UiPath.Credentials.Activities.RequestCredential;System.Activities.Statements.WriteLine;UiPath.Mail.SMTP.Activities.SendMail

Impact

Failure to implement activity governance. Organizations can enforce use of specific libraries with this rule. Developers may leverage libraries that are unsafe or not coherent with existing development practice.

Mitigation

Change activity to approved activity type within development practices of the organization.
