Set Jump Client Pinning and Unpinning Permissions

Allow Users to Pin Jump Clients

Permission to deploy, remove, and modify Jump Items always grants the user permission to download and install Jump Clients prior to support, as described in Deploy Jump Clients During a Support Session or Prior to Support. However, this does not necessarily mean that the user has permission to pin Jump Clients during a support session. To pin a Jump Client during a support session, the user must have the permission Jump Clients Pinning/Unpinning. This permission can be defined in any of the three following locations in /login:

  • Users & Security > Users
  • Users & Security > Group Policies
  • Users & Security > Session Policies

The Session Policy section in /login where you can configure Jump Client Pinning and Unpinning.

If you need to assign the permission to only one or two users, do so from the Users page.

If you need to assign the permission to one or two groups of users, do so from the Group Policies page.

If you need to assign the permission to three or more groups of users, to specific Jump Clients, or to one or more of your public portals, do so from the Session Policies page.

Regardless of where you set this permission, the configuration works the same. Locate the Jump Clients Pinning/Unpinning permission and select Allow.

Selecting Deny prevents pinning or unpinning Jump Clients. Selecting Not Defined falls back to a lower priority session policy or the global session policy.

If you allow this permission for a specific user on the Users page, then that user can pin or unpin any session they start.

If you allow this permission for a specific Group Policy, then any members of that group can pin or unpin any session they start.

However, if you allow this permission for a specific Session Policy, no change occurs until you assign this policy to one or more users, group policies, Jump Items, or public portals.

Assign a Session Policy to a User or Group

Users checkbox enabled.

To assign a session policy to a user account, group policy, or public portal, set the Availability of the session policy to allow Users.

Making the Jump Clients Pinning/Unpinning permission available to rep invite is meaningless. External representatives cannot have ownership of sessions, and only the owner of a session can pin or unpin Jump Clients.

 

The User Edit screen showing you can assign a specific session permission to a user.

To assign a session policy to a user, edit the user, scroll down to the Attended and Unattended Session Permissions section, expand the section, and select the appropriate session policy from the dropdown. Click Save.

 

The Group Policy edit screen showing you can assign a specific session permission to a group policy.

To assign a session policy for attended sessions to a group policy, edit the group policy, scroll down to the Attended Session Permissions section, and expand the section. Check Defined,and Final if applicable. From the Attended Session Policy dropdown, select Custom to define a policy and complete the options below, or select an existing policy. For an existing policy, the options can be viewed but not changed. Click Save.

Follow the same process to assign a session policy for unattended sessions. Edit the group policy, scroll down to the Unattended Session Permissions, and expand the section. Check Defined,and Final if applicable. For the Unattended Session Policy dropdown, select Custom to define a policy and complete the options below, or select an existing policy. For an existing policy, the options can be viewed but not changed. Click Save. Click Save.

 

Assign a Session Policy to a Jump Item

Jump Items Availability Option in a Session Policy

To assign a session policy to a Jump Item, set the Availability of the session policy to allow Jump Items. While Jump Items include more than Jump Clients, the pin or unpin permission applies only to Jump Clients.

When a session policy with the Jump Clients Pinning/Unpinning permission enabled is assigned to a Jump Client, then any user who starts a session with that Jump Client can unpin it, even if that user is denied permission to unpin Jump Clients in all other sessions.

 

Select the Edit Session Policy permission in a Jump Item Role.

To assign a session policy to a Jump Client, the user must have permission to change the session policies associated with Jump Items. This is determined by Jump Item Role.

 

Edit Jump Client Session Policy

When a user has this permission, they can right-click any Jump Client they are allowed to modify, click Properties, and assign a session policy to the Jump Client using the Customer Present Session Policy and Customer Not Present Session Policy dropdowns.

The way customer presence is determined is set by Use screen state to detect customer presence on the /login > Jump > Jump Clients page under Jump Client Settings. If the option is enabled, the customer is determined to be present only if a user is logged in, the screen is not locked, and a screen saver is not running. If the option is disabled, the customer is considered present if a user is logged in, regardless of screen state.

 

Troubleshoot Settings with the Session Policy Simulator

If a specific user is unable to pin or unpin Jump Clients during a session, you can use the session policy simulator to troubleshoot the issue.

  1. Log in to /login as an admin and go to Users & Security > Session Policies.
  2. Scroll to the Session Policy Simulator section and enter the Representative and Session Start Method in question.
  3. Click the Simulate button and check the result for the permission Jump Clients Pinning/Unpinning.

If the simulator indicates that the user should be able to pin and unpin for a given session, and yet in practice this is not the case, then verify that the user has permission to modify Jump Clients:

  1. Log in to /login as an admin and go to Users & Security > Users.
  2. Edit the user in question and locate their Jump Group Memberships.
    • If a Jump Group specifies a specific Jump Item Role for the user, click on the role to see its settings. If the role is set on the user, scroll down to the user account's Jump Technology section and click Show for the associated Jump Item Roles.
    • At least one of the associated Jump Item Roles must give the user permission to Create and deploy new Jump Items.
  3. If a Jump Group Membership is defined by a group policy, or if the Jump Item Roles are not editable, or both, then modify the group policy which is controlling these memberships and/or permissions.
    • If multiple policies are involved, you might need to check each one.
    • If the same permission is defined in multiple policies, you might need to reorder them or change the option Allow this policy to be overridden? for Add To Jump Groups, Remove From Jump Groups, or Representative Permissions.
    • If you reorder policies or allow override, remember that a group policy listed further down in the list of policies overrides policies above when the permission in question allows override on the topmost group policy; otherwise, the first group policy takes precedence.
