Automatic authentication of support users
Automatic authentication of first time users of the Helpdesk Agent. I will get a lot of pushback when introducing the new ticketing process because users will have to register, receive a code via email and enter it into the agent's form. In an industrial environment, this is asking a lot. There should be a way to deploy the agent to all workstations and have Atera poll the domain controller (via LDAP?) so that it pulls the credentials automatically.
This is by far the best way to introdice the new support portal. And that technology is not new. You would simply link Atera to the domain controller once and then it would authenticate users automatically. No MFA required and users are always authenticated without any involvment on their part. And that would apply to any user on any workstation. Many users are roaming from one PC to another and should not have to setup anything in order to open a support ticket.
Same thing for the web portable BTW. There should be a way for the users to be authenticated automatically... but that could prove harder to pull-off with a web-based tool.

Authenticating Users is a critical security feature to ensure an unauthorized user does not access your support system.
