Can the 'Connect' button be used to initiate an SSH connection, as root, to a Unix system when SSH access for root is denied?
The 'Connect' button can be used to initiate an SSH connection to a Unix system when SSH access for root is denied, but only if a logon account is associated with the root account and the user connects through the PSM-SSH connection component. This method provides an alternative pathway by leveraging the logon account settings to bypass the direct root SSH restriction while maintaining security protocols.
You don't need to use PSM-SSH, this works over PVWA as well

You can use EVP Transparent Connection, directly, without PSM https://docs.cyberark.com/Product-Doc/OnlineHelp/PAS/12.6/en/Content/PASREF/Options%20-%20Connection%20Components.htm?tocpath=Administrator%7CReferences%7CConfigure%20the%20system%20through%20PVWA%7COptions%7C_____19
Not only PSM-SSH but also PSMP can also be used https://cyberark-customers.force.com/s/article/PSM-SSH-Access-for-root-user
PSM-SSH and PSMP are the same though.

PSM for SSH works only with the PSMP-SSH connection component to perform SSH connections to targets. The configurations in the PSMP-SSH connection component affect all connections made with PSM for SSH. To change the configuration for some accounts, override the PSMP-SSH settings at platform level. For example, you can configure the PSMP-SSH connection component with a setting for SSH connections, such as an AutomaticLogonSequenceWithLogonAccount for SSH. To define this setting for Telnet, create a platform for Telnet connections that overrides AutomaticLogonSequenceWithLogonAccount with a value suitable for Telnet connections.
C As the PSM for Windows can also do ssh connection to the Linux\Unix host as it makes use of Putty which is installed on the PSM for Windows.
