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
