By default starting in AX-3.7, you must have “super user” permissions to add/edit Program and Robot components (including ProvisioningRobots). If necessary, this is changeable in the Supervisor’s system.properties file, via the niagara.program.requireSuperUser entry. Note super user permissions are not required to configure a provisioning job that includes a “Run Robot step”, where the referenced ProvisioningRobot was previously added/edited by a super user. However, the station user in any remote JACE station used by the Supervisor for client access (fox) must be a super user for such a provisioning job to run successfully on that station.

This section provides various notes about the ProvisioningRobot in the provisioningNiagara palette. To use a ProvisioningRobot, copy (drag) it from the provisioningNiagara palette into the Supervisor station (wherever needed), and modify its program code as appropriate.

You can then reference the ProvisioningRobot when adding a “Run Robot step” when building a provisioning job. Or when building a job, simply drag a station’s ProvisioningRobot into the step list area (in the Niagara Network Job Builder or Niagara Network Prototype View)—this adds the Run Robot step.
