Can thin client admins follow me?

Hello.
There is an organization where I work. We were ordered to switch to thin clients. The thin client server is located in a higher organization, where the admins are. We do not have access to change anything in the system.
Today, by chance, on one computer, when trying to paste the copied text from the Word into the Word, a screenshot was inserted. It seemed extremely strange, because no one pressed this button for sure.
Can thin client admins set up taking screenshots at a specified interval and storing them at home? So keep an eye on what users are doing?
Or is it a system glitch?
PS: users have been sitting on thin clients for half a year and have not noticed this before.

They can.
But here I would quote Dr. House: "Everyone lies." They pressed prntscr themselves, maybe by accident.
And why are you so worried? What are you doing on your work computer?

Yes they can. But specifically replacing your clipboard with a third-party picture is overkill. Well, that is, you can, but the game is not worth the candle. Yes, and the screenshots themselves in tracking programs are usually done differently.

They can.
The administrator can at any time connect to the user's session and observe his actions.
The picture was inserted by accident.

Yes, but in this case they will not fall on your clipboard.

I don’t know for sure, but in such cases it’s better to make a worse decision, because if they can’t, and you think they can, nothing bad will happen, but if it’s the other way around, there may be problems. You :)
