ISL AlwaysOn enables you to send an email to the recipient(s), granting them the authority to approve or reject the connection for the remote computer before establishing a session. This feature also serves as an alternative to local consent when the remote user may be unavailable at the computer but has access to their email (e.g., via phone).
