Remote control

Support users from anywhere with remote access included in every ImmyBot plan

Securely connect to computers from inside ImmyBot, so techs can troubleshoot, support users, and fix issues without leaving the platform. Every plan includes five free concurrent remote sessions with the option to upgrade when your team needs more.

Keep remote access in the right hands

Remote Control only appears for users with the right permissions. Sensitive clients and off-limits machines stay protected.

Connect to the session that actually needs help

Multiple Windows sessions can make remote support messy. ImmyBot eliminates the guesswork by helping techs choose the right session before they connect.

Know who connected, when, and where

Every remote session is logged to an audit table, giving admins a clear record of activity. If a client asks who touched a machine, you’ll have an answer.

Already use ScreenConnect? We support that too.

Connect through the ImmyBot Agent or ScreenConnect. If more than one provider is available, choose the one you want to use.

Secure, one-time access for every Remote Control session

Each Remote Control session uses a fresh access key created at the moment of connection. The key only works for that session. It can’t be reused later and automatically expires if no viewer connects in time. That way, remote access stays secure and contained.

  • One-time access key
    Each remote connection gets a unique key and session ID. It can’t be reused or shared, so every session starts fresh.
  • Short connection window
    The viewer only has a few seconds to connect. If no one connects in time, the session automatically ends.
  • One session, one connection
    Each session is limited to one connection. No persistent tunnels, background access, or lingering sessions.
  • Tenant boundaries stay intact
    Remote access follows ImmyBot’s permission model, so techs only connect to computers they’re allowed to support.

Use our built-in agent or ConnectWise ScreenConnect. You’re in control.

Use ImmyBot’s native remote control with no additional tooling, or route through ConnectWise ScreenConnect if it’s already deployed on the machine. If both agents are present, ImmyBot shows a method picker so you choose which connection to open.

Is this included for free with my ImmyBot subscription?

Yes, all ImmyBot plans get five concurrent (active at the same time) remote sessions included in the monthly subscription. If your team needs more sessions, you can add them to your account for the price of $5 per concurrent session.

What remote control methods does ImmyBot support?

Two methods: ImmyBot Agent (built-in) — requires Agent on the target computer — and ConnectWise Control (ScreenConnect) when a ScreenConnect integration is configured in ImmyBot with an agent installed on the computer. If a machine has both, ImmyBot shows a method picker so you choose which to use.

Is remote control available on Mac or Linux?

Remote control is currently supported on Windows only. The ImmyBot Agent on non-Windows platforms reports that remote control is not supported. This applies to both the built-in agent and the ScreenConnect path.

Who has permission to use remote control?

Remote control is gated by the “Remotely access and control computers” RBAC permission. This permission is evaluated per-computer based on the requesting user’s tenant scope — a user with access to a tenant can open remote sessions for computers in that tenant. Cross-tenant remote access follows the same rules as the rest of ImmyBot’s multi-tenant permission model. Users without this permission will not see remote control options in the UI.

How does session security work? Can a session key be reused?

No. ImmyBot generates a one-time access key for each connection request. The key is valid for a limited time after it’s issued. If no viewer connects in that window, the session is automatically cleaned up. The key cannot be reused or shared — each remote session is scoped to a single connection.
