Connect to Live PSM Sessions

When Access Request policies are configured to allow live snooping, administrators can connect to live PSM sessions and monitor machine activity in real-time. This feature provides the ability to observe what is happening on the machine as needed.

⚠️GDPR Compliance

If you are located in a country where the European Union GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) is enforced, it's important to note that live monitoring and session recording should be turned off, or users should be clearly informed that their session will be recorded, how it will be recorded, and that they have the option to opt-out of such monitoring by not continuing to the session. This is a necessary compliance requirement to ensure user data is protected and handled appropriately under GDPR regulations.
