HP Remote Graphics Software 5.4.0 User Guide

NOTE: Local user refers to the person physically located at the Local Computer. Remote user refers to
the person physically located at the Remote Computer (if, in fact, a person is present at the Remote
Computer).
A local user who establishes an RGS login to the Remote Computer is known as the primary user. Once
a primary user has been established, another local user can view the Remote Computer desktop session
using RGS only if allowed by the primary user. There are situations, however, where a local user may
replace the previous primary user and become the new primary user.
The process by which a local user can become a primary user or view the primary user’s desktop is
described in detail in this guide.
1.3 RGS features
HP RGS supports a number of features designed to optimize performance, security, and functionality
(see
