Option |
Description |
Ask for permission from interactive user |
By default, RemotelyAnywhere prompts the host user to permit or deny access whenever a client user attempts to open a remote control session. Clear this option to allow a client user to initiate a remote control session without asking for permission from the host user. Clearing the option will also disable the Chat function. |
Time allowed for the interactive user to give permission |
Enter the amount of time within which the host user must respond to the request for permission to initiate remote control. If this time expires, the setting in the Default answer for confirmation message field will be applied. Minimum 3 seconds, maximum 30 seconds. |
Text to display to the user |
This text will be presented to the host user in the remote control permission dialog box. The string %USER% will be the Computer Name of the host as set at the operating system level, plus the client user's operating system account ID. |
Default answer for confirmation message |
Choose Yes to establish remote connection even if the host user does not respond within the time set in the Time allowed for the interactive user to give permission field. Choose No if you want the remote control session to be refused if the host user does not respond. |
Full Control (and Remote Control) access rights bypass interactive user’s permission |
With this option enabled, users with full Remote Control access rights (Read, Write, Delete, or “R+W+D”) will be able to access the Host without first asking the user’s permission. If this is enabled it overrides the setting in the Ask for permission from interactive user field. |
Do not require authorization if user is not present |
Select this option to be able to initiate a Remote Control session without user permission. |
- Click Apply.
Result: Your settings are applied immediately to the host.
