How Much Additional Employee Workload Can We Expect from a ControlUp Edge DX Deployment of 1500 Devices?

The other user mentioned Agents don't use shared credentials, and typically you don't allow the shared creds globally. There is worry for giving EUC team rights to the servers and VDI workstations in the same hypervisor cluster, and the suggestion was giving read-only permission in the console only without granting the "Run Host Actions".
