Access Automation

Access Automation is like an RPA (Robotic Process Automation) for your resources. You can define your access flow for your Web or Desktop applications. Access Automation only works if you choose the Connection Type as RDP.

When you enable Access Automation, it will ask you what type of application you want to automate. MonoPam supports two kinds of access automation.

Web Page

This is a web page automation for access. This will help you to create a flow for your processes. You can even select a template to choose your flow already defined. You can edit that flow to complete the automation.

Clicking Edit Flow will be giving you the following options;

As you can see, these are the steps after the user is connected to the resource. Every step will be taken automatically by MonoPam before the user visits the UI.

You can add or update the current step to define your process.
