Hi Scott,
GCBA should be installed at the system level. In terms of runtime, you should notice that there are 2 processes -- GcbaMain and GcbaBrowser. GcbaMain runs as a system service. When a user is logged on (into Genesys Cloud web app), it will create the GcbaBrowser process in the current user's session to perform screen recording.
The Resource Center article could be alluding to the scope of the screen recording session in a VDI environment. That is, Genesys Cloud will only be capturing within the VDI session since GCBA is sitting within VDI, and not be able to capture anything else at the end device of the user.
