How are account permissions handled on the host machines that are relinquishing control to outside users? I mean, what prevents a Malicious user pasting in a devastating command into your terminal if they are running under your privileges? Or a mistaken user copy and pasting a bad command?

Good question - If you share your window or display on CoScreen, you can decide if you also want to share remote control or not. It’s a global toggle for all the windows you share. Also, only users who have the invite to your CoScreen (and therefore have a secure token to get into it) and are with you in it at that moment, would be able to type into your window if you allowed that.

  It would be nice to set control settings from the host on a per window basis.

    Point taken, it's on our roadmap...

What's preventing the coworker helping you over your shoulder from entering a malicious command? Some human issues can't be solved with technology.
