Change a user's settings

Update your user's products, settings, and permissions as needed. Settings are controlling behaviours for agent level permissions.
Before you begin: You must be assigned an admin or Super admin role to perform this task.

If multiple product licenses are assigned to your account, the product setting bubbles will display for each user, regardless if the user is actually assigned to the products or not. If you assign one of these licenses to the user later on, the settings configured here will be applied automatically.

  1. Sign in to GoTo Admin.
  2. From People icon People > Users, select the user who needs changes made.
    Tip: While on any tab in a user's profile, you can select Three-dots icon on the top-right to make changes to the Overview page or delete the user. Use the breadcrumbs in the top-left to go back to the main list.
  3. From the Overview tab, you can change the following:
    Metric card Options
    Details Make changes to personal settings, such as role, language, and time zone.
    1. Select Edit icon Edit Details
    2. Make changes.
    3. Select Save.
    Custom fields Make changes to custom fields:
    1. Select Edit icon Edit Custom Fields to make changes to any custom fields that have been created
    2. Select Manage custom fields to make changes to system-wide custom fields.
    User groups Add or remove the user from user groups.
    To add the user to a user group:
    1. Select + Add to user groups.
    2. Choose an existing user group from the drop-down list.
    3. Select Add user.
      Note: To create a new user group, refer to How do I add a user group?
    To remove the user from a user group:
    1. Hover over the user group and select Remove (circle containing a horizontal line) icon.
    Device groups Select + Add to device access group to add the user to a device group. The visibility of this setting depends on the user's product license.
  4. From the Products tab, you can add or remove a user's subscription. This action will change the quantity of licenses available for your account. Learn more about managing product licenses.
    Tip: Depending on the license, you might be able to control the nested licenses separately.
  5. From the Settings > Camera share tab, apply a product settings template by selecting the Apply template button, then either choose from a list of previously created templates or enable or disable the following:
    Note: You must have a Camera share addon to see this tab.
    • Session recording: Automatically record every camera share session started by this agent.
    • Allow screenshots: Allow the agent to create screen captures (snapshots) during a camera share session.
    • VoIP audio: Allow the agent and the customer to establish a VoIP/Audio connection during the camera share session.
  6. From the Settings > Remote support tab, you can set different user permissions for managed sessions, RMM features, device management, and instant support sessions.
    Note: Depending on your available addons, you may not see the following information on a separate tab.
    • Instant support sessions: Enable or disable if the agent can access instant support sessions. If enabled, specify if the agent can connect and control a user's device, and if they can send and receive files to and from the end user.
      • Remote control end user devices: Allow the agent to connect to and control the end user’s device. The end user will have to approve the request for remote control and download a support app.
      • Send files: Allow the agent and end user to send each other files during an active session.
    • Manage device access and administration: Enable or disable all permissions for access and administration of managed devices. When disabled, the agent won’t have access to the Devices page in the LogMeIn Resolve Agent Console. Alternatively, enable or disable the following settings separately:
      • Access unattended managed devices: Allow agents to connect to managed devices when the end-user is not present.
      • Access attended managed devices: Allow agents to connect to managed devices when the end-user is present.
      • Access attended managed devices without end user consent: Allow agents to connect to attended managed devices without the end-user granting access.
      • Terminal access: Allow agents to connect to managed devices from the built-in terminal in LogMeIn Resolve.
      • Registry editor: Allow agents to connect to managed devices from the built-in registry editor.
      • Service manager: Allow agents to connect to managed devices from the built-in service manager.
      • Blank remote screen: Allow agents to hide screen activity on the remote device during an active managed session.
      • Remote execution: Allow agents to run remote execution scripts remotely on managed devices.
      • File manager: Allow agents to transfer files to and from managed devices. Agents can also organize and delete files.
    • Remote monitoring and management (RMM): Configure if agents can monitor and manage alerts, Windows and third-party patches and updates, and antivirus software on managed devices.
    • Device management: Configure if agents can add, remove, and manage device groups and devices.
    • Asset management: Configure if agents can manage hardware and software inventory assets.
    • Problem management: Allow agents to create problem tickets and link helpdesk tickets to problems.
    • Knowledge base: Allow agents to publish knowledge base articles when the approval flow is enabled. To do so, navigate to the Settings > Knowledge base menu in GoTo Admin and select Enable approval flow.
  7. Select Save.
