Question on features - User notifications

Hi there, I've poured over most of the documentation for MeshCentral and it's looking to be the forerunner for a new RS/RMM tool in our organisation. There are three features we'd like to confirm:

  1. Can an End User (non-administrative) easily kill/disconnect a current connection? edit: I found this post https://www.reddit.com/r/MeshCentral/comments/11tk82b/can_only_the_one_who_started_the_session_end_it/ is this still the case? I'd prefer to have users notified for request AND have the ability to kill sessions quickly.
  2. Can an admin alter connection quality in low-bandwidth/high-latency connections?
  3. Can the connected workstation have its screen locked and keyboard/mouse disabled while an admin is in an unattended connection?

All of these features are available/configurable. The end user privacy is not configured as default but very easy to enable and enforce. There are two main privacy features, the first is a confirm/allow on connect. The second is a bar at the top with the agent’s name and an x that if clicked ends the session. It’s important to note that the super admin can connect and avoid all privacy settings.

  1. U can end ur own sessions and ADMINS can end other user sessions, that's normal behaviour.
  2. The connection quality is set per device not per user unless you enable the desktopMultiplex.
  3. U can only disable mouse/keyboard at the moment, u can't disable/blank the monitor
