# Enabling LinkManager Connect Reason

## Overview

This article will provide information about the Connect Reason feature. Administrators can activate it on the domain and sub-domain level. This will force the LinkManager user to give a reason for connecting. Available from Release 9.0

**Connect Reason** Now you can force the user to provide a reason when making a connection. This applies to when using a GTA connection like using LinkManager, SiteManager GUI, and GTA buttons like VNC/RDP. As an admin, first set "override" under Domain Settings then Log Connect Reason.![](https://cdn.document360.io/88f49507-a7a0-4636-b297-13c4d0065310/Images/Documentation/image-1616498011714.png)

Then all buttons go grey and will not be available until a reason is chosen. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/88f49507-a7a0-4636-b297-13c4d0065310/Images/Documentation/image-1616498031273.png)
