There are several dierent ways to access and authenticate
to Apple Remote Desktop clients. Some depend on Apple
Remote Desktop settings, and others depend on other client
settings, or third-party administration tools.
This chapter explains the various access types, their conguration, and their uses.

Apple Remote Desktop Administrator Access
Access privileges allow an Apple Remote Desktop administrator to add computers
to a list and then interact with them. If no access privileges are allowed on a client
computer, that computer cannot be used with Apple Remote Desktop. Access
privileges are dened in the Remote Management section of the Sharing pane of
each client computer’s System Preferences. In Mac OS X version 10.4 or earlier, access
privileges are dened in the Apple Remote Desktop section of the Sharing pane of
each client computer’s System Preferences.
The recommended access privileges for a client computer depend on how it’s used.
If the computer is used in a public area, such as a computer lab, you may want to Â
allow administrators full access privileges.
