Chapter 2 Setting Up 35
To set administration privileges on each computer:
1 On the client computer, open System Preferences and click Sharing.
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 the checkbox of each user account that you want enabled for ARD
administration.
5 Select a listed user whose access privileges you want to set, and then make the
changes you want to the access privileges. Your changes take effect immediately.
See “User Privileges and Permissions Security” on page 50 for more information.
6 Repeat for additional users whose access privileges you want to set.
7 If desired, enter information in any or all of the four Computer Information fields.
This information appears in ARD System Overview reports. For example, you can enter
an inventory number for the computer, a serial number, or a user’s name and
telephone number.
8 Click OK.
9 To activate the ARD client, make sure to select the Apple Remote Desktop checkbox, or
select Remote Desktop and click Start.
Disabling the Client Software in Mac OS X 10.3
You may want to temporarily disable Apple Remote Desktop on a Mac OS X 10.3
Panther client without removing the software.
To disable the client software on a Panther client computer:
1 On the client computer, open System Preferences and click Sharing.
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 Deselect the checkbox of each user account that you enabled for ARD administration.
5 Click OK.
6 Deselect the Apple Remote Desktop checkbox in the Sharing Methods pane.
7 Quit System Preferences.
Warning: Because ARD is part of the default Panther installation, do not remove the
ARD client components.
