Abstract
Examples of granting governed privileged access to a robotic process automation (RPA) bot are described. In an example embodiment, for the RPA bot, an onboarding request is received for creating an RPA bot ID. The onboarding request is validated and, in response to the validation, the RPA bot ID is created. A directory service account, a privileged account available for bot employee type, is associated with the RPA bot ID and a target account is linked with the RPA bot ID to provision authorized privileged access of the target account to the RPA bot. An application programming interface (API) is provided for the RPA bot for reconciling the access to the target account. Furthermore, authorized privileged access to the RPA bot is granted to the target account.
