The Options subsection includes settings for default behavior when Master connections to the Host are terminated and for suppressing local inputs (keyboard/mouse) when Master connection is established. The Account User can click on the Edit button to view and/or edit any of these configuration options.
Below is a table of the fields, values and actions available on the Options popup window:

Even if Host is configured to disable the local keyboard and mouse during a Master connection, the local Host user will be presented a popup window which can be used to override such settings when Master requests access to the desktop:
The local Host user will have 30 seconds to click Enable Local Use of Computer and re-enable the local keyboard and mouse. If the local Host user clicks Continue, any preemptive settings configured at Host startup time (see checkbox options) will apply and the local keyboard and mouse may be disabled when the Master connection is established.
