A practical guide

See who has access, and why

Direct and inherited access, plus what Agents can watch.

“Look at who can use me and where their access comes from, then decide what to switch off.”

See who can use an Agent

If you’re allowed to manage people, open People with access from the Agent’s page. The list shows who has a direct grant and whose access is inherited from an Agent Role or from workspace authority.

2

Change the source of access

A direct grant gives that person access to the Agent. Removing it leaves any separate inherited grant in place, so use the linked People controls to change access at its source.

3

Choose what an Agent may observe

For a remote check or watch, approve both the target and the operation. A selected log, a window, and a whole desktop are different scopes. Check which Agent and which model will process the content.

4

Confirm local Host consent

Host observation, where supported, needs consent at the computer itself as well as the approved Agent grant. Set how long it lasts and pick the local sharing controls the task needs.

5

Stop access when the job is done

Pause or stop the watch, revoke the grant, or turn off the Host consent. Keep in mind that permission to observe doesn’t cover input control or commands.

Make a start

Start with one Agent and one real job

Set up a workspace, give an Agent something useful to do, and see how far it gets.
