View only - you can view a computer’s output but not alter it,
•
Shared access - you can view and control a computer along with other consoles,
•
Exclusive - multiple users can view a computer but only one (the first to make connection) can control it,
or
•
Private - you can view and control the computer privately while other users are locked out.

Note: If an icon is grayed out, that access method is not available.
