2 For Autopilot for Everyone, the following limitations apply:

  • Personal Workspace—Automations created by users
  • Autopilot—Automations installed and deployed with the Autopilot for Everyone installation
  • Tool Automations and subfolders—Out-of-the-box automations deployed by Autopilot for Everyone administrators

3 Previously known as Autopilot Express, and as Automation Express in legacy assignments and default groups. The product retains the earlier names for existing assignments. See Express User license.

Important:

If you, as an administrator, previously deployed out-of-the-box automations from the Marketplace solution, we recommend:

  • reinstalling the out-of-the-box automation bundles from the Autopilot for Everyone Admin experience, and
  • removing any manually deployed out-of-the-box automations.

Platform units consumption

Each Autopilot for Everyone action consumes 0.2 platform units. This consumption begins after all included action entitlements are used.

Platform units consumption for Serverless robots

Autopilot for Everyone uses Serverless robots to run cross-platform automations. Each user receives a monthly grant of 300 free platform units. When you consume this grant, to continue running automations, Serverless robots draw platform units from the tenant allocated pool.

Express User license

Express User (previously known as Autopilot Express, and as Automation Express in legacy assignments and default groups) is a user license intended for end users who run automations rather than build them. The product retains the earlier names for existing assignments, so you may see all three names referring to the same license.

The following table summarizes what an Express User can and cannot do.

Not available with Express User

The following capabilities are not included with Express User. They were available with the original Automation Express license and are the most common source of confusion during license renewal:

  • Studio Desktop authoring
  • StudioX authoring (StudioX launches only in read-only mode)
  • Running automations in Orchestrator folders other than Personal Workspace, Autopilot, and Tool Automations
  • Studio Web governance through Automation Ops policies
  • Editing the client update policy
Important:

Express User licensing is not available in Automation Suite. For details, see Autopilot for Everyone feature comparison.
