Simultaneous connections to same server
Open Multiple Remote Control Sessions at Once
Currently, CW Control only allows you open a single remote session at a time. I'd like the ability to select 5-15 (or more) machines at once and it opens remote connections to all of them in a single click. This also needs to be replicated over to CW Automate.
Add new session to login
I would like to see the option to add a session along with switch session. This way a tech would be able to start another session on the server and login. This way two techs could work on a server in separate sessions at the same time, much like RDP.

This feature is quite important to us. We may have multiple engineers needing to access a server at a time, running accounts with different privilege levels.
Currently we are at risk of a lower tier engineer accessing a session in use with higher privilege levels. Somebody suggested a halfway feature of a 'do not disturb' sign which may be sensible.
Multiple session support to be honest is what I expected. Every server has a minimum of 2 separate console sessions, so why can this not be mapped through control ?
+1 this seems a common issue we all have. It has been requested several times before:
Hi team, my request has been just merged with this one. Are there any timelines to implement this feature? Or is it still under review (6year after it has been logged)?

Hi Julio,
Thanks for the follow up. I just wanted to let you know that we are currently investigating this and cannot provide an exact ETA on when it will be implemented.
In most applications we need to have two or more engineers working on the same server using different sessions at the same time. We would like to be able to use SC to open different session against the same server. Every Windows Server has a minimum of 2 separate, we would expect to be able to install the agent to at least use one any of these sessions although the ideal solution is to be able to open as many RDP sessions as licenses included in the server. The exact mechanism is not relevant (installing the agent multiple times one for each session / license or install it once).
Similar requests have been placed in the past. I would like to get this feature considered or get an update on the below requests if something similar is already in the roadmap.
