The following is the sample XML format you need to use to assign management
privileges via MCX keys. It assigns the above “ard_interact” privileges to the groups
named “some_group” and “staff.” It also assigns the “ard_manage” privileges to the
group named “staff,” the “ard_admin” privileges to the group “my_admin_group,” and
leaves no group with the “ard_reports” privilege set. Here’s the XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple
Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-
1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict>
<key>mcx_application_data</key>
<dict>
<key>com.apple.remotedesktop</key>
<dict>
<key>Forced</key>
<array>
<dict>
<key>mcx_preference_settings</key>
<dict>
<key>ard_interact</key>
<array>
<string>some_group</string>
<string>staff</string>
</array>
<key>ard_manage</key>
<array>
<string>staff</string>
</array>
<key>ard_admin</key>
<array>
<string>my_admin_group</string>
</array>
<key>ard_reports</key>
<array>
</array>
</dict>
</dict>
</array>
</dict>
</dict>
</dict> </plist>
This example attribute defines four privileges, although any of them may be left out.
