What privileges do they need exactly? Can you set them up as something a
little lower down the scale rather than giving them god status? Then
couldn't you give them a separate user with lower status? IF that makes
sense...you could ensure authorized use only at certain times by checking
logs etc.

Or have I got this wrong and you don't actually give them the password but
somehow allow them to login once you've released the lock?
I've never used GoTo and guess that it's something that runs over http
rather than like remote assistance through 3389.

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.
