AnyDesk is a low-storage device so you can tell the client to download it anywhere you are connected with the internet and it will get installed very quickly. The screen sharing in this application is very clean and resolution quality is high, you can only access once the client device accepts it, which means a secure remote access from this.
Do you know how versatile a Remote Desktop Software is for a company?
- Zero-Config Remote Desktop Software Ammyy Admin. The easiest way to establish remote desktop connection. You can easily share a remote desktop or control a server over the Internet with Ammyy Admin.No matter where you are, Ammyy Admin makes it safe and easy to quickly access a remote desktop within a few seconds.
- AnyDesk automatically runs as administrator when installed. A session to such remote client cannot request elevation since it's already granted and displays this option as disabled in the actions menu. By default, the portable (not installed) version has only standard user rights. A process that requires administrator privileges won't be accessible.
Some companies use Remote Access to offer Remote Support. Some companies use it to remotely control their machines. Employees can work from home and still use the powerful tools on their office PC, even if they work on a less powerful laptop. A Remote Desktop solution is also perfect for monitoring devices from afar or simply for screen sharing and presentations.
A broad range of use cases calls for highly customizable security settings.
With AnyDesk, you can adjust the permissions for each of these use cases. Let us show you how!
Before the start of an interactive session, the Accept Window is shown. There, the related permissions can be adjusted. For certain permissions, this can even be done during a running session. Additionally, this window also allows you to dismiss an incoming request and close running sessions.
Need Remote Support?
Employees who have problems with their computer could be scattered all over the globe. Maybe they work from home, maybe they work in a different office than the IT department. In any case – they still need fast and reliable support. It’s important for IT to have all the permissions they need to efficiently help their co-workers. They need to be able to restart the computer and request system information. Granting all the permissions means allowing IT to work on the device as if they were sitting in front of it.
Want to Monitor or Control a Device?
Having administrative rights at the remote device isn’t as important if you only want to use its standard functionality. Imagine you want to remotely control a machine that is used by several employees within a company, like a printer or scanner for example. You should be able to control it to some extent, so mouse and keyboard permissions are necessary. On the other hand, you could grant employees too much power by giving them the opportunity to restart the device, transfer files or lock the session screen, which could ultimately cause issues.
Want to Hold Presentations?
The benefit of screen sharing is that your co-workers can view your screen from all over the world and follow your presentation in real-time while simultaneously having no access to your desktop. With AnyDesk’s screenshare option, you can untick all participant permissions and simply allow co-workers to sit back and watch.
If they have feedback that they would like to visualize directly on your screen, you can allow them to use different features in the Whiteboard. That way they can draw on the screen instead of changing your document.
Different Permissions for Different Users
Unattended Access allows IT administrators to connect to devices without having to wait for manual acceptance. In case other users need to access the same machine as well, multiple passwords can be set up, each tied to different permissions. Therefore, IT has the optionto set up Group Policies, which enable multiple user groups with permission profiles. This makes managing these individuals much easier.
As you see, security settings can be adjusted to your company and your specific security and privacy needs. Want to learn more about security at AnyDesk? Click here to explore all of the benefits.

AnyDesk provides the solution to agree upon an unattended password, so that the remote client doesn't need to be present to accept a request to enter a session.
The default setting (no password set in the security options) will not allow unattended connections to your computer. Connection requests must be accepted from the physical console of the client being controlled.In the Main Window, open the Menu and click Settings. Switch to the Security Tab:
Before changing your Security Settings, you have to confirm administrative privileges. Click Unlock Security Settings, confirm the UAC-prompt and continue in the appearing Admin settings window. All settings can now be modified.
- Enable unattended access
- Allow other computers to save login information for this computer.
In the Admin Settings window, a password for unattended access can be set, as well as the option to store a token for each remote client that you entered a password to.This token will enable the remote client to have his requests accepted automatically without the need of typing the unattended access password for subsequent sessions:
Exclusive unattended access
The Accept Window is not displayed in this mode. Set interactive access to disabled and use unattended access only to establish the session. Further limit access to the device by listing your devices in the Whitelist (See ACL)The access control list is a Whitelist that allows for exclusive access for specified IDs. This secures, that only devices that have been specified are allowed to make a session request at all. In this configurationnot even the accept window would show up if the connecting device is not on the list. 3rd party devices cannot request sessions and even if your password is compromised, only devices from your whitelist may access.
Caution:
The password should be very secure.Anyone knowing the password and your AnyDesk ID has full access to your computer.A password which exceeds at least 12 characters is highly recommended.AnyDesk also supports two-factor authentication for best security.Always double-check when a third party contacts you and demands your AnyDesk Address.We (AnyDesk Software) will never ask for your ID or password and legitimate companies will never contact you without you having initiated the communication first.In case you are seeking the help of a pc repair service, please make sure you know the vendor.We are planning a feature that will allow companies and individuals to obtain a signed certificate to prove their identity.
Automatic Login
After requesting session, the password dialog appears.
Check Login automatically from now on and enter the password. You will not be asked to enter this password in subequent session requests for this client.
- This feature will only work if the other client has this feature enabled!
- The Tokens substitute the password and are stored encrypted on both client sides. You can clear the Tokens List by clicking: Clear all Tokens Other clients who could connect automatically will now be asked to type the unattended password again.
- Remember to also change your password since users who stored your password will still have access.

Security Considerations
Anydesk Admin Access Windows 10
- This feature does not save the password itself. Instead, the remote machine generates a specific token. This token can only be used by an authorized client. A client can only get authorization if the correct password was entered there once.
- There is no way to get access to your password in clear text, even if someone should get full access to a client which has enabled the feature.
- You can revoke the permission to connect to a desktop at any time in the security tab by either disabling unattended access or resetting the tokens.
- Changing the password to the same password will also invalidate all tokens. This is useful if you entered a password on another client, but this client does not know the password itself.
- You can disable the feature to allow login information (the password) by unticking the Checkbox. Already existing tokens will remain in this case, but no new tokens can be accepted.
