Can ScreenConnect monitor my activity history? How does it track user actions, and what are the privacy implications?

[exinent]

ScreenConnect, like other remote access software, can potentially monitor certain aspects of user activity. While its primary function is to provide remote support, the level of monitoring depends heavily on how it's configured by the administrator.

Here's a breakdown:

• Session Recording: ScreenConnect allows administrators to record entire remote sessions, including screen activity, mouse movements, and keystrokes. This is often used for training, auditing, or troubleshooting purposes. If enabled, everything you do within the remote session could be recorded.
• Activity Logs: ScreenConnect logs various events, such as connection times, file transfers, and chat messages. These logs can provide a history of actions taken during a remote session.
• Real-time Monitoring: Administrators can actively view the remote screen in real-time, essentially observing everything the user is doing.
• Privacy Implications: The privacy implications are significant. Users should be aware that their activity could be monitored. It's crucial to understand your organization's policies regarding remote access and monitoring. Transparency is key. Ask your IT department about their ScreenConnect usage and data retention policies. Assume your actions are visible and recorded unless explicitly stated otherwise.

It's important to differentiate between can and is. Just because ScreenConnect can monitor activity doesn't mean it always does. The actual level of monitoring depends entirely on the administrator's settings and the organization's policies.
