Users must have the [Agent Upgrade][2] within Fleet Automation for upgrades, and the [Fleet Policies Write][2] permissions to configure Agents remotely. The permission is enabled by default on the Datadog Admin role.

## Enable Remote Agent Management
If you are running Agent version 7.69+:
1. Ensure that your Datadog Agent configuration (`datadog.yaml`) includes `remote_updates: true`, or alternatively set the environment variable `DD_REMOTE_UPDATES=true`. Enabling either option turns on Remote Agent Management for the Agent.

If you are running older Agent versions:
1. Ensure that [Remote Configuration is enabled for your organization][15].
1. Go to the [Datadog Agent install page][3] for your platform or configuration management tool.
1. Enable **Remote Agent Management**. Enabling Remote Agent Management adds the `DD_REMOTE_UPDATES` environment variable to the generated Agent installation command.

1. Use the generated Agent installation command to upgrade your Agent to version 7.66+.

<div class="alert alert-info">For Agent versions prior to 7.69, you must run the generated installation command with <code>DD_REMOTE_UPDATES</code> set to <code>true</code> to gain access to Remote Agent Management. Enabling Remote Agent Management without running the installation command does not grant access to the feature.</div>
1. Verify that [Remote Configuration is enabled for your organization][15].
2. Confirm that your Agent version is 7.69 or later.
3. Ensure that your Datadog Agent configuration (`datadog.yaml`) includes `remote_updates: true`, or alternatively set the environment variable `DD_REMOTE_UPDATES=true`. Enabling either option turns on Remote Agent Management for the Agent.

<div class="alert alert-info">To configure Agents running on Windows hosts, use Agent version <strong>7.71.1 or later</strong>.</div>
