Chapter 5 Understanding and Controlling Access Privileges 67
If the computer is used by one person, you may not want to give administrators Â
full access privileges. Also, you may want a user who administers his or her own
computer to take responsibility for creating passwords and setting the access
privileges for the computer.
WARNING: Apple Remote Desktop administrator access can be used maliciously—for
example, to take unauthorized control of a user’s screen or delete a user’s les. Be
very careful when deciding who receives administrator access and which access
privileges they receive.
The following table shows the Remote Management options in the Sharing Preference
pane and the features of Remote Desktop that they correspond to. For example, if you
want a certain administrator to be able to rename computer le-sharing names, you
need to grant that administrator the privilege by selecting “Change settings.”
