There have been requests to limit by role or something like that. We can certainly take this under consideration.

Is this because you have techs opening too many sessions...maybe leaving them open? Or maybe you need to make sure that a manager always has a license available to use? Just want to make sure I characterize the request correctly.

Or maybe just give that user/group the ability to force end a session to get a license, (without having to connect to it first) , perhaps with some sort of popup telling the dropped tech why the session terminated. That way all the licenses could be used for general maintenance, but someone working an emergency ticket wouldn't have to call around to get someone to drop off.

I also don't want them opening more than one session at a time. If the number of concurrent sessions could be configurable, great, but at this time, I would like to say "user x can only open 1 session at a time". I also have clients where I have numerous unattended agents and their IT manager would like to be able remote in as well. I buy an additional session license that they can use that I bill them for and I don't want them able to use more than 1 session at a time.

If we had something like this in place it would probably allow us to modify our EULA to allow other companies to use your ScreenConnect installation as you outlined above. Currently however that would be a violation of our EULA, this forum post talks about that a bit: http://forum.screenconne...eenConnect.aspx#post5944

I too would like to see a restriction on the number of sessions a tech can open. Fernand

But its a pretty big change to get implemented which has to be weighed against improving Mac and Linux compatibility, customer initiated support, reporting, improved audit logs, etc. I am a big fan of some sort of change, we just need to make sure what we do helps with as many of the unique requests possible. This thread is pretty specific on what users are looking for but we have others that have broader scopes.

Our use case is that we sometimes allow clients to access their group of machines and they can't help themselves from going nuts with active sessions lol.
