Bot Velocity - File Management Activities

The Bot Velocity File Management Activities package for UiPath enables efficient file attribute and permission management with three core activities:

  1. Lock File: This activity sets or removes the read-only attribute of a file, securing it from edits or enabling modifications.

    • Inputs:
      • File Path: The file's location.
      • Read Only: Toggle to "On" for read-only or "Off" for writable.
  2. Toggle Visibility: Controls the Hidden attribute to toggle file visibility in Windows.

    • Inputs:
      • File Path: File location.
      • Hide: Toggle to "On" to hide or "Off" to make it visible.
  3. File Permissions: Adds or removes access control rules for specific users, specifying permission levels like Read, Write, or Full Control.

    • Inputs:
      • File Path: File location.
      • User Name: User's domain and username.
      • User Permissions: Access level (e.g., Read, Write).
