We use several tools to access and manage your Apple devices. One of these tools is called Splashtop and allows us to view the screen and control the mouse / keyboard for you.
This process requires you to add permissions for the application, As a security measure from Apple we cannot automatically grant these permissions and so you will need to manually add them using the simple process below.
Administrator Permissions
If your current account is not an administrator (if your example your company is Cyber Security Essentials Protected).
You will first need to elevate your account, If you are one of our customers you can do this using the tools we provide you on the desktop.
