Only one user, the floor owner, can interact with the desktop at a time. To transition the floor owner, the current floor owner must cease using the keyboard or mouse for a short period of time (0.5 seconds). If another user uses the mouse or keyboard while the current floor owner is inactive during this .5 second period, floor ownership transfers to the new user. In a collaboration session, the shape of the local cursor is modified for the floor owner. For the other remote users, the local cursor is left unchanged, and a remote cursor is displayed in the Remote Display Window. Use of the mouse and keyboard by non-primary users can be disabled by the primary user using the Sender GUI (see Figure 5-16). Authorized local users will still be able to view the primary user's desktop, but will be unable to interact with it.

5-5 Collaborating
RGS enables the primary user to share his or her desktop session with several local users simultaneously (see
Section 2-8-4, “
One-to-many connection
”). This feature can be used in a variety of collaborative scenarios
including classroom instruction, design reviews, and technical support.
5-5-1 Creating a collaboration session
A collaboration session is created when one or more local users are authorized by the primary user to connect to
the primary user’s desktop session. This allows all users, primary and local, to view and interact with the primary
user’s desktop (see Figure 5-15)
Figure 5-15
Multiple local users can view and interact with the primary user’s desktop
The user currently controlling the mouse and keyboard is called the
floor owner
. Only one user, the floor owner,
can interact with the desktop at a time. To transition the floor owner, the current floor owner must cease using the
keyboard or mouse for a short period of time (0.5 seconds). If another user uses the mouse or keyboard while the
current floor owner is inactive during this .5 second period, floor ownership transfers to the new user.
In a collaboration session, the shape of the local cursor is modified for the floor owner. For the other remote users,
the local cursor is left unchanged, and a remote cursor is displayed in the Remote Display Window.
Use of the mouse and keyboard by non-primary users can be disabled by the primary user using the Sender GUI
(see Figure 5-16). Authorized local users will still be able to view the primary user’s desktop, but will be unable to
interact with it.
