Limited Input vs Remote View Only in device group permissions

[TitovLab]

What is the difference between Remote View Only and Limited Input Only in the permissions to a group of devices? It seems that this is the same thing and only one of them works?

Remote View Only will not allow user input at all. Limited Input Only will only allow basic input keys, a to z, space, enter and numbers.

I was asked to add Limited Input Only because by someone that was managing kiosk devices and wanted to present anything like ctrl-alt-del, etc.

Hope that helps.

Yes, that helps. Thank you!

After installing and running MeshCentral locally, I have been using its remote features. However, I have two questions:

I want to connect to clients in a "view-only" remote mode at times, where even if I move my mouse, it won’t appear on the client’s desktop, and they won’t notice my presence. How can I achieve this?

I haven’t been able to use MeshCentral for remote connections, similar to AnyDesk, to access systems that are not on the same network and are often located in various parts of the world.

You simple untick the box at the bottom that says Input, this is basically a view only mode

You need a dns name, then u set it in cert in your config.json and restart meshcentral. This turns it into hybrid mode then u make sure to port forward 80/443 in ur router to ur meshcentral ip
