Consent set by controlled syntax (Only these systems or by group)
At the moment, I have client workstations I need to access that MUST have the consent popup however the servers should not. We have a few servers that must start up to a user account automatically for some archaic software and I am unable to log into these systems because there is no physical user ready to hit consent. If we could either apply an app.config by a group or allow "SC user John Doe" = allowwithoutconsent for systems LIKE... that would be great! Right now I must log out of my normal user and into the admin account to reach these servers.

You could create a session group for these "unattended machines" and grant "host without consent" permission to just that group to do exactly what you want.
I know this is a feature. However, the issue is the amount of time it takes to reset consent. I have HIPPA clients who require the consent every time I must remotely log on. If I have a client who has me remote in at 8:00am for one issue and again at 2:30pm for a different issue, I need it to prompt again for consent.
Richard,
We are currently working on a configurable option that would expire consent when a host has been disconnected for "x" amount of time.
The two issues are unrelated. Role based permission controls which machines have consent. We are putting in an option to make the consent reprompt after a host has been disconnected after "x" amount of time. It will be included in a 6.0 update to be released soon. This is the issue tied to it: http://product.screenconnect.com/topics/547-allow-for-a-choice-between-legacy-consent-method-and-the-newest-one-time-consent-until-restart/ . We'll update the post when it's ready.
