On a Splashtop Remote Support team, a user with admin role can remotely access and manage all computers by default.
Sometimes you may want a client to have admin role, but limit their access to only a subset of computers. This allows the client to do things like add computer, remove computer, invite user, etc., but only for the groups that you authorized.
Please see instructions below to enable and to use the feature.
