If you have a permission to control the desktop of a terminal server - you can control the desktop of any terminal user, right?
Is there a way to make some users "privileged", in a sense that their terminal sessions could not be viewed/controlled?
Active Directory have a user setting for this, but , I believe, Remote Utilities pay no attention to it.

Hello Serg,
Thank you for your message.
Thank you for your message.
This depends on what you mean by "control". In Remote Utilities you can switch to any actively running terminal session, but you can only view the desktop if it's unlocked. If the terminal user's desktop is locked (by the user) you won't be able to view it.If you have a permission to control the desktop of a terminal server - you can control the desktop of any terminal user, right?
Could you please clarify, what specific setting you mean? Thanks.Active Directory have a user setting for this

Hello Serg,
Remote Utilities only allows you to view what session/sessions there are. We cannot interfere with how Terminal Services work.
The user locks their terminal session desktop the same way as a regular desktop during a Windows session - by clicking Ctrl Alt Del and selecting Lock.How does a user lock his terminal session's desktop?
