The User Remote Control Permissions dialog lets you define or modify the type of remote control operations that a user can have on computers in the current asset group. For example, you may want one managerial user group to have exclusive and secure control permissions for all host computers and another user group to have more limited control, such as a corporate training user group with shared control and chat permissions only.
This dialog contains the following fields:
Displays the name of the user or group selected for the address book.
Permits the viewer to see the host computer but not control it.
Default: Allow
Permits the viewer to see the host computer without the host acknowledging the connection. This is called passive monitoring. The host screen does not change when a connection is made, but it may flicker when connecting or disconnecting. To avoid flickering, set the Load driver on start policy to True.
Note: For more information about the Load driver on start policy, see the Video capture Policy Group topic in the Configuration Policy section of the DSM Explorer Help.
Default: None
Permits both the viewer and host to have control.
Default: Allow
Permits multiple viewers to a single host, with the ability of the host to pass or restrict control to any one of the student viewers.
Default: Allow
Disables the host's mouse and keyboard. Only the viewer can control the host's computer, and only one viewer at a time can be connected.
Note: On Linux, this option prevents other users from connecting when there is a session in progress; the host's mouse and keyboard are not disabled.
Default: Allow
Windows: Gives the viewer control over the host computer similar to the exclusive control option, but also blanks out the screen. In secure control mode, only one viewer can connect.
On Windows, a secure control message screen is displayed; this screen is configurable and displays a static HTML page.
Note: The secure control mode uses multiple-monitor operating system features with which some versions of the Intel Display drivers are not fully compatible. If Remote Control detects a driver compatibility problem, it does not display the Secure Control Message, “Secure Control Session in Progress.” Instead, the host screen becomes black. Using the latest display drivers from Intel resolves the problem.
Linux: Creates a new login session with a hidden desktop that only the viewer can see. The remote control connections to Linux hosts in this mode do not control the desktop of the currently logged on user. Multiple concurrent secure control connections are supported, and each connection creates a separate hidden desktop.
Note: The secure control feature in Linux requires the Virtual frame buffer X server (Xvfb) utility, and secure control connections are refused if it is not present. This utility can normally be installed from the Linux installation media, if not already installed by default.
Mac OS X: Secure Control mode is not supported.
Default: Allow
Permits the remote user to activate the Chat feature.
Default: Allow
Permits access to the File Transfer feature. The remote user can only send files to your computer.
Default: Allow
Permits access to the File Transfer feature. The remote user can only receive files from your computer.
Default: Allow
Requires the host user to accept the connection before the viewer can connect to the host computer. After a user tries to connect to the host, a message appears with the user name and type of remote control connection, asking whether you want to accept the connection. If you click No, the viewer is disconnected and the viewer user is informed.
Default: None
Permits the session to be recorded.
Default: Allow
Permits the host computer to record all sessions initiated by the current user.
Default: None
Displays tips for selecting options or entering information in fields or dialogs.
