Collaborating on a NICE DCV session
NICE DCV users can collaborate on the same session, enabling screen and mouse sharing. Users can join authorized sessions while session owners can disconnect users from any session collaboration. To take advantage of this feature, users must be joining the same session identified by the same session ID.
Requirements
By default, the only user that can connect to a NICE DCV session is the owner of that session.
For users to collaborate on the same session, the active permissions applied to the session need to be
updated to include the display parameter. For more information on
editing the permissions file, see
Configuring NICE DCV authorization.
Note
Administrator privileges are required to edit the permissions file.
