Features

• Self-Hosted Server Architectures - The software utilizes a server architecture consisting of a signaling server and a relay server for traffic when direct peer-to-peer connections fail.
• Display and Control Settings - The software offers display and remote-control settings including view modes, toolbar behavior, cursor tracking, and image quality preferences.
• Remote Desktop Clients - The software provides a cross-platform remote desktop client enabling users to initiate or receive remote sessions via public or self-hosted infrastructure.
• Administrative Management Systems - The software provides centralized administrative management, identity integration, and policy control for self-hosted remote desktop infrastructure.
• Containerized Deployments - The software provides containerized deployment configurations for self-hosting signaling and registration servers.
• Control Planes - The software provides a centralized web console for managing users, devices, permissions, relay settings, and custom client configurations.
• Connection Security Policies - The software allows granular security policies for incoming connections, defining permissions for input, clipboard, file transfer, terminal, and peripheral access.
• Device Access Policies - The software supports assignment of devices to individual users or device groups to manage connection permissions via console or command line.
• Elevation Mechanisms - The software includes a mechanism to allow remote clients to interact with administrator-level system dialogs and prompts.
• Granular Permission Sets - The software provides granular permissions for managing specific remote device features like audio, camera, tunneling, and session recording.
• Access Control Systems - The software features an access control system that determines connection eligibility for users and groups to specific devices.
• OIDC Authentication Integrations - The software supports delegated user authentication via external identity providers for centralized identity management.
• Relay Server Management - The software supports deploying and configuring multiple relay servers with geolocation settings to optimize connection routing and reduce latency.
• Administrative Role Management - The software provides a delegated management system allowing administrators to assign global, individual, or group-scoped roles with defined scopes and permissions.
• Control Role Management - The software allows administrative definition of operator capabilities on remote devices, such as file transfer, clipboard access, terminal usage, and configuration modification.
• LDAP Authentication Integrations - The software supports authentication integration with external directory services, including automatic user account creation upon first login.
• TOTP Authentication Systems - The software supports time-based one-time password authentication, including backup codes for account recovery.
• Service Hosting Configurations - The software provides guidance on self-hosting server components on operating systems using service managers for persistent background execution.
• Server Installation Methods - The software supports multiple installation methods, including containerized deployments, system-service scripts, and native package management.
• Mobile Screen Sharing - The software supports screen sharing and system audio capture for mobile devices, requiring system-level permissions for capture and input control.
• Android Remote Control - The software provides remote control functionality for mobile devices, supporting mouse and touch input modes with configurable navigation shortcuts.
• Network Port Requirements - The software specifies network port requirements for signaling, relaying, web access, API, and proxy configurations.
• Command Line Interfaces - The software includes command-line parameters for silent installation, persistent credential setting, and programmatic ID management.
• Automated Deployment Scripts - The software provides automated client installation and setup scripts, including MSI packages, designed for large-scale rollouts and managed environments.
• API Token Management - The software supports API token generation for programmatic management of users, devices, groups, strategies, and audit logs.
• Client Configuration Settings - The software provides advanced client-side configuration options including address book presets, window behavior, service elevation, and network-level connection overrides.
• Platform Permission Requirements - The software details system-level permission requirements for remote control and input capture, including accessibility, screen recording, and input monitoring.
• Device Group Permissions - The software provides cumulative device group-based permissions that provide an additional layer for managing access to device collections.
• Role Creation and Assignment - The software provides a console interface for creating custom administrative roles and assigning multiple roles per user.
• User Group Access Settings - The software provides administrative configuration for cross-group access, defining which groups can access or be accessed by others.
• Bulk Policy Management - The software provides a policy layer for standardizing security and behavior settings across multiple devices and users without manual client-side configuration.
• Client Configuration Management - The software supports multiple configuration methods including custom binary generation, manual settings, import/export, and command-line automation for replicating connection settings.
