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 collaboration users can be disabled by the primary user using the
Sender GUI (see
Figure 5-15 Disabling of the local users’ mice and keyboards by the primary user
on page 106). Authorized local users will still be able to view the primary user’s desktop, but will be
unable to interact with it.

Connection between a Local Computer and a Remote Computer is permitted only if the primary user
allows the connection and if all users have unique login accounts for the remote computer. Users may
not share the same login account.. A question dialog, stating the domain and user name of the local
user attempting a connection, is displayed on the Remote Computer desktop when a local user attempts
to connect (see
Figure 5-16 Primary user dialog to authorize a local user to connect to the primary
user’s desktop on page 107). All currently connected local users will also see this dialog because they
are currently viewing the Remote Computer desktop.
