VIDEO: Adding Console Users to PDQ Deploy

(https://support.pdq.com/hc/en-us/articles/223661288)

IMPORTANT: The number of console users should not exceed the quantity of PDQ Deploy licenses.

NOTE: From an elevated command prompt (cmd.exe run as Administrator), you can view or modify Console Users with the PDQDeploy ConsoleUsers command.

Add

Opens the Add PDQ Deploy Console User window which allows you to grant users and/or groups access to the console.

NOTE: If the background service is running as a local user rather than a domain administrator, only local users can be added.

Delete

Deletes the selected console user(s).

Repair

Repairs any security identifiers.

NOTE: The repair must be initiated by the background service user on the console running in Server mode.

Active Sessions

Concurrent Sessions

The number of active sessions from the PDQ console or Command Line Interface (CLI) to the background service. This number updates in real time.

Licensed Administrators

The number of licensed administrators. The number of concurrent sessions cannot exceed the number of licensed administrators.

NOTE: You will receive a 'Concurrent sessions exceeded the licenses limit,' if the active number of sessions exceeds the number of licenses that exist for the account. To resolve this notice, you will need to purchase the correct number of licenses for the number of admins using the software. Concurrent sessions in excess of the licensed amount will prevent new sessions.

Console User

The name of the user that is connected to the background service.

Computer Name

The name of the computer that is connected to the background service.

Type

The type of connection: Console, CLI, or Console & CLI.

Purchase More Licenses

Opens the Purchase License page of pdq.com where you can purchase more licenses if your concurrent sessions are exceeding the number of administrators that are licensed.
