View Only Permission
I would like to a permission that allows a user to view but not control sessions. Currently a host pass can be given with View Only access but that permission can't be given to a user.

Add ability to create a user with "view only" access
Prompt to allow remote control / view only session
We need the ability to have certain host with specific security credentials/settings have the initial setting to only VIEW once connected to a client but then have the option to REQUEST CONTROL which will prompt the user to approve or deny.
View Only permissions
We have the need to connect to some machines within our production where it should be possible to connect - but it should not be allowed to but some input on those machines.
Therefore it should be possible to choose the permissions more granulary.
Security permission to only view self sessions
If a user has the "CreateSupportSession" permission they will be able to create sessions, but they won't be able to see them. However, if we give them "ViewSessionGroup" they can see the sessions of all other users.
There should be a permission that allows users to only see the sessions that they(or their group) create.
View only guests
The ability for the guest PC (PC which we connect to) to be in a view only mod.
Host would connect to this guest PC without having any rights on controling the PC, it would be a setting on the guest side and not host side or server side.

Yes, this is possible with on-premises.

I will put in the request to have this included in the software.

It would allow people to only monitor the screen, but not control the PC.
Ex:
I need Mister A to monitor the computer of Mister B, but A doesn't need to interact with B's computer, so I setup that B's computer is a "View only" guest, by default.
It would be a feature such as "Suspend Guest Input" that Hosts have, but reversed, and by default.
It would not work, I guess. It is not the user who's connecting that has to choose between "with" or "without" control on the computer. It should depends on the PC he's connecting to.
Ex:
PC01: View-Only, no one have the control over this PC on connection, except an Admin, for example. You can only (over)watch the screen of that PC.
PC02: Normal mod, you can control and view the screen.
It would be a feature such as a "screen-sharing only connection". That can be tweaked on each PC / group of PC, through the installer.. Like an "overwatch" connection..
Role based permission isn't allowing this, and SuspendControlAtStartup is an option for those who connects, so it's on "the wrong side" of the connection.
Hope I am clear enough, let me know if it's not.
PS: I am talking about these permanent connections with the agent, not the temporary ones.
Hey AMorales,
The session group "My Sessions" (Host = $USERNAME) is pre-built under Support. What you can do is set a role with the permissions selected in the screenshot below, and the user with that role will only see sessions that they create.
Let me know if that helps.
thanks that worked
+1. I can't believe I'm reading from others on here that this is available for self-hosted but not for cloud. This should be available for both customer bases (especially since CW is pushing users to cloud).
Partner requests the ability to create a user with "view only" access to remote control computers.
