Remote shell

Remote shell gives you command-line access to a Linux device from your browser. No SSH port forwarding, no VPN, and no inbound firewall changes.

Commands run with the Linux permissions of the agent's configured OS identity. Dataplicity access roles decide who may open a session, but do not add Linux privileges. See Shell privileges and the device-side privilege boundary.
