Back in 2020 Rob Langley (Apr 03, 2020 6:21:07 am EDT) raised a question regarding "Access to one PC by multiple users." Conrad Sallian replied at the time saying it was on their 'Wish List'.

Does anyone know if any further progress has been made on this front?
Or can anyone offer an alternative solution that will restrict access to only allow one user if 'available', otherwise prevent other users signing on?

Thanks

Hello Tony,

Thank you for your message.

Unfortunately, this feature is yet to be implemented. However, as a temporary workaround you can try using the Ask User Permission feature instead - this way the one user that has already connected to the remote Host is able to reject all other incoming connections.
Please note that you can enable the feature remotely via Remote Settings.

Please let us know if you have more questions.

Pauline,

Thank you for the prompt response.

I have implemented and tested the "Ask User Permission" option and it will meet my immediate requirement.

Thanks

Tony
