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". The "Create Solve user automatically" option in the SAML settings is not available at the moment, with no estimated time of repair.

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.

ControlUP Monitoring: Combining CVAD Logon Times with FSLogix Integration without UPM? Supported Configuration?
A user asked about running FSLogix and UPM together without issues. It was suggested to not use Director for logon times as ControlUp is more accurate and to focus on the Windows logon time. It was also recommended to use the logon duration analysis script provided by ControlUp and establish a baseline. Additionally, FSLogix integration interrogates a remote file share every 5 minutes and does not provide free space info, other than that it can be requested via Solve UserVoice.
