It was suggested that the user have multiple roles, with Role 1 being assigned to the kiosk device group and Role 2 to all other device groups (excluding kiosk). The solution was confirmed to work for the user if the same set of permissions is applied to the roles.

Restricting Access to ControlUp DEX Portal
A discussion arose about restricting access to ControlUp's DEX portal, such as with a specific client certificate, IP address or Azure hybrid joined client machine. Using SAML could be a solution as the service provider can deny access if criteria are not met, and IP restrictions are said to be arriving in the early months of 2024.

Limiting the Number of Connections in ControlUp Real Time Console
A new user asked if there was a way to limit the number of connections in the ControlUp Real Time Console that a given user can have to the client machines. The suggestion was to use the Solve console, which the user said might not offer the same 'Incidents view'. However, the Audit Log from the Solve console can show all the triggers that were fired and actions ran, as well as limit the 'Connect to Windows Machine' permission. It was suggested to explain the resource constraints to the help desk team and rely on their own principles of self-control. There is no way to detect if too many connections are open, and the Security Policy is all or nothing.
