Agents rule form
Completing the Security tab

Use the Security tab to specify the access group to be used for the following kinds of agents:

• Agents whose queue mode is Legacy
• Agents whose queue mode is Advanced but they do not use the agent queue functionality

If you do not specify an access group for legacy and advanced agents that do not use the agent queue function, Process Commander uses the access group specified in the Batch requestor type (that is, the Data-Admin-Requestor instance named Batch). Agents whose mode is Standard do not need access groups; for standard agents, each queue item is processed in the authorization context of the user whose actions or processing (work object, assignment, and so on) generated the queued task.

Field	Description
Access Group	Optional. Select the access group to use for the legacy and advanced agents listed in this rule. This field is ignored for agents with a type of Standard.
Bypass activity authentication	Optional. Agents run as internal background processes and are authenticated differently than operators. If the agent's processing calls an activity that has the Requires Authentication option selected on its Security tab, Process Commander throws an error. Select this option to allow this agent to run activities that require authentication, even if the agent is not authenticated. (See Pega Developer Network article PRKB-25055 Agent process throws exception when running authenticated activities.)
