    Hi romatlo, welcome to the community.

     

    When you generate an instant support session there are some options you can select:

    1. Your Client will be prompted to download and install our desktop client so you can have remote control
    2. This will enable Admin Mode from the start of the session
    3.  This leaves the desktop client installed for future support sessions

    If you do not select any of these options you will be able to start a support session in Chat mode to begin with, then remote view the Client's screen without any elevated privilege. You can then request remote control and if needed enable Admin Mode at which point you will be prompted to enter Admin credentials.

    Thank you.  I think I got it.  I had to open the session first as non-admin (by having user cancel the privileged escalation prompt).  Then switched to admin mode from the GoTo Resolve console where I could enter my domain admin credentials and it worked.  Of course, the user will need to be connected to VPN first.
