"Support access" and additional SSH ... why?

Hi,

As far as I understood, the ‘Support access’ allows the Sophos support engineer to access the firewall via SSH and WebAdmin.
Is that correct?
Why would a support engineer also need additional SSH?

  • Right, they've always recommended some program they want me to download. I refuse, of course. But we've found a different answer than screen sharing each time. If I _had_ to screenshare to literally show them something, as you say I'd use Zoom or maybe Google Meet that's more neutral would never involve allowing them to control anything.

    P.S. On a totally different topic, I should be getting an XGS108 in the next couple of hours, so I'm not moving to the Big Leagues like you, but increasing my ports and RAM by 50% and gaining storage so I can debug (logs) and do some on-device reporting. I keep refreshing the FedEx page to see what's up.
