Kurt Westphal commented on GUACAMOLE-1221:
------------------------------------------
Thank you for consideration. With so many open issues I am positively surprised
that you found the time to look at it at all.
* I see the problem of displaying the user name(s) next to the connection
entry. It does not scale. Our use case seems to be special. Better not to
pursue this idea.
* The information of the user names is limited to Administrators. This is a
reasonable default setup. Admins can see the information in the Active Sessions
view. Would it be possible to enable this view for specific users or user
groups? Maybe introducing a "View Active Sessions" switch in the user profiles
Permissions.
Currently we have a workaround, using a virtual machine with an open Guacamole
session, showing the Active Sessions screen. In Guacamole, this is the first
connection that we list in All Connections. It is view only. A user can connect
to it and see who's online. This works, more or less OK. It is surprisingly
often that the VM is down, logged out, demanding a software upgrade, or not
showing the Active Sessions for other reasons.

> Most of our connections are only accessible by one user at a time. The
> connection is blocked and other users do not know by whom. They cannot
> negotiate access time. It would be useful to show the current user for such a
> connection, not just the number of currently connected users.
