A user was seeking advice on creating a ControlUp trigger specific to a particular application only used by a small user group. They wanted to check if a user was assigned the application before running the trigger, without embedding the check in the script itself. However, it was mentioned that ControlUp triggers can only be associated with a single object type, so a script may need to be used to achieve this. Alternative methods were also suggested.

New Remote Control Feature for Non-Domain/Corporate Devices and IP Restrictions in ControlUp
There was a discussion about the new Remote Control feature and whether non-Domain/Corporate devices can access it. The new feature is not dependent on Active Directory and only requires the agent to communicate with ControlUp's backend. Some companies may see this as a security risk, but it can be restricted to only allow access from corporate-owned devices by setting up the SAML provider. The required URLs for communication can be found at https://support.controlup.com/docs/agent-outbound-communication#required-urls and more information about remote controlling VDI/DAAS devices can be found at https://support.controlup.com/docs/remote-control-your-vdi-daas-devices. The group also discussed the importance of thoroughly reading and understanding the documentation before asking questions.
