Consoles & downloads

What is the access console?

The access console is the interface used by your users to access all of Privileged Remote Access's features and functionality. You can access the console via a desktop client (the desktop access console) or via the web (the privileged web access console). Privileged Remote Access also offers an Android access console app and an iOS access console app.

What's the difference between the Privileged Web Access Console and the Desktop Access Console?

The Desktop Access Console:

• is an application you download to your computer.
• can only be used from the computer on which it is downloaded.
• is full-featured.

The Privileged Web Access Console:

• is accessed via a URL in a chromium-based browser.
• can be accessed from any computer.
• is a slightly modified version of the Desktop Access Console.

How is the Privileged Web Access Console useful?

The Privileged Web Access Console allows you to access remote systems using your web browser, when you do not have the ability or desire to download and install software in a desktop environment. Most of the major features of the downloadable desktop Access Console are supported in the Privileged Web Access Console, with the exception of features that require tighter integration with your operating system than browsers currently provide.

2. Click the Privileged Remote Access tile, or, from the main menu, click Privileged Remote Access > Consoles & Downloads.
