User Role Policy

Remote Control > Notification Policy > User Role Policy

The User Role Policy page determines how you want to notify users that a remote control session to their machine is about to begin. Policies are applied by user roles.

Note: See Machine Policy to apply remote control notification policies by machine ID. Machine policy takes precedence over user role policy.
