+6Hi,
I need to create a bot working with Windows Services, after testing some of them…, I am getting the following error message.
“The bot needs to run with administrative privileges to make changes to a service.”
the issue is that I can not find how to give the adm privileges to my bot runner.
Any help appreciated.

Hi
Ideally the bot agent needs to be installed by an user who have admin privileges, this will provide the bot agent the administrative privileges to make changes to a service.
Also ensure the bot agent service is running on “local system”
