Okay great, adding the users to the x2godesktopsharing group fixed everything.

Thanks so much! I didn't see that on the x2do documentation anywhere. What's the process for adding new docs?

The "granted users" list gets populated once the first user connects
and requests sharing a desktop.

There are two caveats at the moment (normally one):

   o users must share the same primary group or must be in group
"x2godesktopsharing"
   o cross-account desktop sharing is broken in x2goserver 4.0.1.18
(and fixed for
     4.0.1.19 already)

Greets,
Mike
