The Permissions of... dialog is used to control the permissions of authorized users by the host. This dialog consists of a table with Permission and Description columns. The Permission column lists all of the available functions, and the Description column displays the definitions for each function. You can view permissions for a user and assign or modify current permissions by selecting or clearing the check boxes for the desired functions.
This dialog contains the following fields:
Permits the viewer to see the host computer but not control it.
Default: True
Permits the viewer to see the host computer without interfering with its display and performance and without acknowledging the host connection, if set to True. This is called passive monitoring. The host screen does not change when a connection is made. If the host icon is visible, it does not flicker or change state.
Default: False
Permits both the viewer and host to have control.
Default: True
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: True
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.
Windows: In Secure Control and Exclusive Control modes, the Ctrl-Alt-Del key sequence cannot be blocked, because it is a low-level security feature of the operating system. This means the host user may be able to interfere with remote control operations by repeatedly pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del to switch to the login desktop or to open the Task Manager. However, after issuing a Ctrl-Alt-Del, the host user will still not have keyboard or mouse control of the desktop.
Linux: This option prevents other users from connecting when a session is in progress; the host's mouse and keyboard are not disabled.
Default: True
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. A secure control message screen is displayed; this screen is configurable and displays a static HTML page.
Windows: In Secure Control and Exclusive Control modes, the Ctrl-Alt-Del key sequence cannot be blocked, because it is a low-level security feature of the operating system. This means the host user may be able to interfere with remote control operations by repeatedly pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del to switch to the login desktop or to open the Task Manager. However, after issuing a Ctrl-Alt-Del, the host user will still not have keyboard or mouse control of the desktop.
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. 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.
The secure control feature in Linux requires the Xvfb (Virtual frame buffer X server) utility, and secure control connections are refused if it is not present. This utility can typically be installed from the Linux installation media, if it is not already installed by default.
Mac OS X (Intel): The secure control feature is not supported. All of the other control modes are supported (Stealth View, View, Shared, Classroom and Exclusive).
Default: True
Activates the Chat feature for the remote user.
Default: True
Permits access to the File Transfer feature. The remote user can only receive files from your computer.
Default: True
Permits access to the File Transfer feature. The remote user can only send files to your computer.
Default: True
Requires the host user to manually confirm a connection before the viewer can connect to the host computer. After a user attempts to connect to the host, a message dialog appears with the user name and type of remote control connect and asks if you want to accept the connection. If you click No, the viewer is disconnected and the viewer user is informed.
Default: False
Permits the session to be recorded.
Default: True
Specifies that the host computer record all sessions initiated by the user.
Default: False
Displays tips for selecting options or entering information in fields or dialogs.
