Setting a user's device login credentials through API

I am curious if anyone has done this or knows whether it is possible. I have a customer that needs to rotate the windows device password for the unattended bot runner account every 30 days. They would like to set it up to run through the API, being called either from their DevOps pipeline or a script (PostMan, PS, whatever works).

 

I have been looking through the swagger examples under User, but cannot seem to get the syntax correct, and am having trouble with the dearth of documentation. If anyone has an example, that would be much appreciated.

Hello @J.Logan Please refer to the following article to update the the device login setting (Refer to ‘Create or update device login setting’ section)

Credential Vault API (automationanywhere.com)

You may also achieve this requirement by integrating external key vault such as HasihCorp, Cybreark, AWSsecret manager or Azure keyvault.

I’m curious, ​@J.Logan, Were you able to get this to work. We are currently working on the exact same problem and are having little to no luck getting the User Details of the service account used to log into the Unattended runner to change the value of the password in Automation Anywhere User Details
