About this task

You can't disconnect from an RPA Hub connected instance and then connect to a different RPA Hub instance when you're using Connection Manager in RPA Desktop Design Studio. If you want to connect to the same RPA Hub instance with another user role, you can select the Disconnect option in Connection Manager to disconnect from the instance. For example, let's consider a scenario where you were connected to the RPA Hub instance as a developer user. If you want to connect to the instance as an admin user, you can select the Disconnect option in Connection Manager and then log in to the same instance by using the admin user credentials.

Procedure

On the Design tab, select Connect to instance.

The Connection Manager dialog box is displayed.
Disconnect from the connected instance by selecting Disconnect.

What to do next

Log in with new credentials. For more information about connecting to an instance, see Connect to an RPA Hub instance from RPA Desktop Design Studio.
