Remote Viewing options

What is a one sentence summary of your feature request?

Options for remote viewing.

Please describe your idea in detail. What is your problem, why do you feel this idea is the best solution, etc.

Provide a remote console installer or a web ui? Would like to be able to give auditors or employees with less permissions a way to view the console and perform queries without giving them the ability to RDP to the server the application is hosted on.

How do you currently solve the challenges you have by not having this feature?

I dont. We cannot enforce least privilege and have to give everyone the ability to RDP to servers.

Hello Jody,

Thank you very much for your feedback, and welcome to the Netwrix Community!

The good news is that the functionality you’re asking for is already available. You can install additional Activity Monitor consoles and connect them to the same set of agents. This allows users to perform all management tasks - not just viewing data or running queries.

To give auditors or users with limited permissions the necessary access, add them to a domain security group, and then specify that group in the agent’s Properties > Connection tab > Management Group field. You can find detailed instructions in the Less Privileged Permissions Option section of our documentation.

Please note that the Management Group option grants fairly broad permissions: members can view activity, modify settings, and manage agents, though they cannot upgrade or uninstall them. This means it may provide more access than is ideal for auditor-level roles.

I hope this helps. Please let us know if you have any questions.
