Important: Please excuse our mess while we improve your admin experience! We are in the process of migrating all accounts to the new GoTo Admin.

    ACL Monitoring Permissions Users can only monitor specific lines on the system (limited monitoring access).
  4. Select Save.
  5. Enable the monitoring permission on the desired user and/or user group:
