|  | Enabling Directory Services Group Authorization

In order to enable group-based authorization for Apple Remote Desktop (ARD)access, you create the appropriate groups in your Directory Services' master directory domain.

To complete this task, you need to be the Directory Services administrator and have access to your organization's users and groups server.

1. In your directory system, create two groups with the short names "ard_admin" and "ard_reports".
2. Add users to the groups.
3. Make sure the clients to be administered are bound to your directory system.

When changing client settings or making a custom installer, choose to enable directory services authorization on the clients, and specify these groups.
