Preventing End-Users from Controlling Recorder

Recorder offers a powerful security feature that allows users to disable when Recorder is recording their desktop activity. There are however some cases when the recording process needs to be managed only by the administrator through Recording Service thereby preventing the end user from turning Recorder on or off. For such cases, Recorder offers a custom UI option as an alternative to the classic UI. It removes the Enable/Disable buttons from the Recorder UI when it is installed in Server managed mode. To use this option, all Recorders need to be installed in silent mode using the command line installation using the parameter controlButtonVisible = false. The controlButtonVisible parameter specifies the mode where most of the standard Recorder UI is turned off, preventing the user from controlling when Recorder is on or off.

Example: Abbyy.Recorder.<version>.exe /silent installDir="C:\Recorder" DataPath="C:\Data" Tag="RecorderWorkstation1" ServerUrl="https://myrecordingserviсe.com/" FirefoxExt=false ControlButtonsVisible=false

This command installs Recorder to the C:\Recorder folder in Server managed mode with the following settings:

  • The Enable/Disable buttons are removed from the Recorder UI. Only the administrator has privileges to control the recording process through the Recording Service website.
  • The Recorder Chrome and Edge extensions will be installed. The Firefox extension will not be installed.
  • Program logs will be stored in the C:\Data folder.
  • Logs of user activity will be sent to Recording Service hosted at https://myrecordingserviсe.com/
