A new Remote Assist capability called Consent Prompt will be generally available in the JumpCloud platform in early April 2023. Later in Q2 2023, JumpCloud will introduce another remote assist connection type called Silent Assist, which will let admins initiate a remote session on end user devices without the end user being present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Remote Assist app in User Consent mode (also known as Consent Prompt) is coming first in our April release. Consent Prompt is a remote assist connection type that eliminates the need for end users to manually launch the Remote Assist app or authenticate their session with a one-time access code to establish a Remote Assist session. Instead, the Remote Assist app in User Consent mode automatically asks for end-user consent to begin the session and, once granted, immediately starts the session. All session establishment tokens\/secrets are securely delivered by JumpCloud\u2019s infrastructure to the user\u2019s device over encrypted channels, and no network changes are required to handle this update.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next major Remote Assist release is called Silent Assist. Silent Assist mode will eliminate the need for an end-user consent prompt entirely and will allow admins to connect directly to systems. During a Silent Assist remote session, the end user will be able to see a status bar on their device letting them know an admin is connected to the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the Remote Assist app, if Remote Assist is enabled under\u00a0Settings\u00a0<\/strong>>\u00a0Features<\/strong>, a new lightweight service with elevated privileges\u00a0will automatically be installed on all your devices<\/strong>. This new service launches the Remote Assist app for screen sharing as needed. There will be no changes to the established\u00a0networking requirements<\/a>\u00a0for this release, or the upcoming Silent Assist release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
