Auto Logoff Windows session on Disconnect/Exit

We are looking for when a SC session ends or we exit, that the Windows session also get logged off. There are too many times where a SC session disconnects, and the next day someone goes to log into the server, everything is left off where the previous tech was. We need this to be clear when a user logs into the system.

ScreenConnect Disconnect Options

When closing a ScreenConnect session on a server using the X in the top right hand corner it keeps a user logged in via a console session.

For security purposes, would it be possible to have another option next to the X to disconnect and log the user off?

Reason for the additional option is that sometimes you will need to have a session open to run tasks but other times you would prefer to log off completely.

I have reviewed https://docs.connectwise.com/ConnectWise_Control_Documentation/Get_started/Knowledge_base/Disconnect_an_idle_host_from_a_session and https://docs.connectwise.com/ConnectWise_Control_Documentation/Get_started/Knowledge_base/Disconnect_a_participant_from_a_session and they do not cover having both options when disconnecting.

This feature would be greatly appreciated.

Question from the product/engineering team:

How does logoff on disconnect provide more security than implementing the already present feature to Lock on Disconnect?

Thanks!

Logoff will close any user spawned processes, while locking will keep them active.

This presents a potential security risk, depending on the environment.

Mimikatz is often used by threat actors to capture the credentials of current sessions (active or disconnected), which can then be used for lateral movement through an environment.

Every ransomware event we've seen in recent times has made use of Mimikatz.
