# Apple Remote Desktop Guest Access

You can configure an Apple Remote Desktop client to give temporary, one-time access to an Apple Remote Desktop administrator who does not have a user name or password for the client computer. Each time the Apple Remote Desktop administrator would like to control the client computer, he or she must request permission from the remote client's user.

WARNING: Granting access to control a screen is the most powerful feature in Apple Remote Desktop, and can be equivalent to unrestricted access.

1. On the client computer, open System Preferences and click Sharing.

   If prompted, enter the user name and password of a user with administrator privileges on that computer.

2. Select Remote Management in the Sharing pane.
3. Click Computer Settings.
4. Select "Anyone may request permission to control screen."
5. Click OK.
