How to add users to ControlUp Insights and Solve Access
A user asked how to add users to Insights - they needed to be added to the Security policy and then launch the RTC one-time to sign up. It is recommended to give the user the "Use Solve" right in the security policy, and if a SAML is used, then there is no need for the export/import process. To get the "Manage Solve" permissions, this is found in the "Perform organization-wide actions".

Is ControlUp Edge DX compatible with base images in a VDI environment, considering GUID issues?
Edge DX was discussed for use in a VDI environment. Realtime is a better product for virtual environments but Edge does have the user productivity reports which appealed to the client. To make Edge work in a VDI, the registration process must be changed to use machine names instead of GUIDs and a "VDI or don't start service" parameter for the installer must be used. The Edge DX report for Top URLs was also mentioned and can be found in the Dashboards/End User Activity of the knowledge base (https://support.controlup.com/v1/docs/edge-dx-agent-distribution-and-installation-for-windows#command-line-agent-installation).

Why are mouse clicks within RDP sessions in ControlUp 8.8 passed through to background apps?
Users have reported an issue when using RDP/ControlUpconsole.exe, where clicking within an RDP session causes random background apps to pop to the foreground. It was suggested this was a known issue unrelated to ControlUp/RDM/Citrix, linked to the RDP stack, and ControlUp are unable to do anything about it. A workaround is to open the RDP session in a new window. ControlUp are also working on a modern Remote Control solution, but this will only be available with the Solve product, which the user doesn't have access to for another 3 years.
