    You are giving them access to use the server with an administrator
    logged in, but you won't tell them the administrator password?

    Is that correct? Or, is the server not logged in, and they need to log
    into it?

    Does someone know a way to allow a normal user to release a server
    password protected screen-saver without giving the user the
    administrator password?

    I need this so that third-party support can access our server via
    GoToMyPC when I am not there. The password protected screen-saver
    blocks them from remote access to fix problems. I cannot always be
    on-site to assist by supplying the screen-saver password.
