Configure application runtime settings

Automation orchestrator installs with a default configuration to control key behaviors of the application. Authorized users can adjust these settings globally in the UI (or API) without re-deploying the application.

Before you begin

  • You must have the Admin role to modify global settings. Users with the Auditor role can view settings but cannot make changes.

Procedure

  1. In the automation orchestrator UI, click the Settings icon in the navigation sidebar.

    The Settings page opens and displays the setting categories as tabs. The following categories are available for configuring global settings:

    Category Description
    AI / LLM Settings include agentic completion token limits
    Context Manager Settings include token limits, retrieval parameters, grounding scores, compression, and context assembly
    Workflow Execution Settings include per-activity timeouts, retry policies, approval windows, failure handling, wait durations, and input constraints
    System Settings include system log level and observability
    Application Application-level settings
    Authentication Settings include local login control for non-built-in users
    Integrations Settings include health check intervals, connection test timeouts, and resource discovery schedules
    Rate Limiting Settings include per-user request limits and time window duration
  2. Select a category tab and edit the settings you want to change.

    See the reference section for field descriptions, limits, and guidance for each category.

  3. Click Save changes in the upper right corner of the page.

    The values are automatically validated. If successful, a confirmation message is displayed. An error message displays if there are invalid values.
