Ability to create per user Variables.

Ability to create per user Variables.

Remote desktop Manager has the ability to create Custom Variables, and that is a really great feature for large deployments.

However, it would be awesome for a user to have the ability to create their own Variables unique to them. For example in my Cyberark Deployment, there is a "Privileged account" setting that needs to be specified. However the entry can not be user specific (Design flaw, already opened a ticket on that)

However if users could create unique variables we could say use the variable $CA_User_Admin$ in the record then create the setting such that that variable, $CA_User_admin$ can be set to the account that user would use.

This is just an example of what could be done. Would be great if these kind of Variables could also exist in a users private vault.

Hello,

It's already possible to accomplish this in RDM. Simply go in File -> Options -> General -> Custom Variables.

This will allow your users to create custom variables locally.

But they are not unique to the User, they are for the system.

Example if I have 10 users I would like to have the variable be different things for different users.

SO User 1 could set $CA_User_Admin$ = "admin1", User 2 could set $CA_User_Admin$ = "admin2", user 3 could set $CA_User_Admin$ = "Admin3" ….

This is how I thought the custom Variables worked. I was surprised to see 'my custom Variables' in a session for another user.

Hello,

Thank you for the explanation.

The request has been added to the ToDo list of our engineering department.
