Create a Digital Employee

Prerequisites

• You have registered and logged in to the STAROps console.

• Your account has the permissions to create Digital Employees.

• At least one Workspace has been created.

Procedure

1. Log on to the STAROps console.

2. In the left-side navigation pane, click Digital Employees to go to the Digital Employee management page.

3. Click Create Digital Employee.

4. In the Create Digital Employee panel, configure the following parameters.

   Parameter	Required	Description
   ID	Yes	The unique identifier of the Digital Employee. Only lowercase letters, digits, hyphens (-), and underscores (_) are allowed. Must be 1 to 64 characters. Cannot be modified after creation.
   Display Name	Yes	The display name of the Digital Employee. Use a name that reflects the employee's responsibilities, for example, K8s Cluster O&M Expert.
   RAM Role Type	Yes	The type of RAM role used by the Digital Employee for cloud resource operations. Select Service Role or Custom Role. Service Role: Automatically created by STAROps with common observability data read permissions. Custom Role: Manually created in the RAM console with custom permission policies. Use this option when you need access to specific cloud resources or write operations.
   RAM Role ARN	Yes	The ARN of the RAM role assigned to the Digital Employee for running tasks. This determines which cloud resources the employee can access. If you select Service Role, this field is automatically populated. If you select Custom Role, enter the ARN manually. Example: acs:ram::<accountId>:role/<roleName>.
   Description	No	A description of the Digital Employee's responsibilities. This helps the AI understand the employee's role and scope. For example: Responsible for daily inspection and alert analysis of the production K8s cluster.
   Default Rules	No	The core configuration that guides the Digital Employee's behavior, written in Markdown format. Define behavioral boundaries with positive directives and negative constraints. For more information, see Configure Default Rules.

5. Click OK.
