# Getting to Know Bots

> For the full documentation index, see: https://docs.mulesoft.com/llms.txt

Besides a name, a description, a version, and a host, bots have the following properties:

## Before You Begin

- At least one bot must be installed on a separate computer.

- Ask an organization administrator in Access Management to assign you the required permissions:

  <table><colgroup><col> <col> <col></colgroup><thead><tr><th>Action</th><th>RPA Permission</th><th>Deprecated RPA Permission</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><p>Open the <strong>Bot Management</strong> module and view the bots.</p></td><td><p>RPA Bots Manager, RPA Operations Viewer, RPA Operations Manager, RPA Administrator</p></td><td><p>Robot Management Open</p></td></tr></tbody></table>

## Find Bots

Open the **Bots** view in the **Bot Management** module to view all bots connected to RPA Manager.
Newly installed bots connect automatically.
