Share access permissions

Last updated on Jan 16, 2024

You own the unattended installers you create along with any computers where unattended access is set up using these installers. As the owner, you can choose whether you want to configure unattended machines for strictly private access or share them with other users on your subscription.

An unattended computer that's configured for private access can only be accessed and managed by its owner. Unattended computers that are enabled for shared access can be managed and accessed by all users on a SetMe account. 

There are two options for enabling shared access to the unattended computer:

  1. When creating the unattended access installer.
  2. When managing the remote computer via your Unattended Devices list.

To enable shared access via the Unattended list:

  1. Hover over the remote computer that you wish to share with the rest of your team and click Edit.
  2. Under Unattended access permissions select Any user on my subscription can see and access the unattended computer, then click Save.

Any user on your subscription that has shared access permissions can delete the unattended computer.

In the Unattended list, the remote computer's Access status will change from private to shared: . Other users on your subscription can see who shared access with them by hovering over this icon.

To disable shared access:

  1. In your Unattended list, hover over the remote computer and click Edit.
  2. Under Unattended access permissions select Only I can see and access the unattended computer, then click Save.

You can also enable/disable shared access to multiple unattended computers. See Perform bulk operations for more information.
