ARD Guest Access

You can configure an Apple Remote Desktop (ARD) client to give temporary, one-time access to an ARD administrator who does not have a login name or password for the client computer. Each time the ARD 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 ARD, and can be equivalent to unrestricted access.

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

   On Mac OS X 10.2 clients, select the Remote Desktop pane and skip to step 4.

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

2. Select Apple Remote Desktop in the Sharing Methods pane.
3. Click Access Privileges.
4. Select "Guests may request permission to control screen."
5. Click OK.
