The remote agent will now install in the background (there won't be any visible progress at first).
To configure the agent application permissions:
Note: If the above Splashtop helper window does not appear within 20-30 minutes, please perform the following (if it has already appeared, you may skip the next three steps):
-

Click the Splashtop icon in the menu bar, select Preferences.
-
Click the information icon within the preferences:
Once you're presented with a window like the one above (showing Accessibility, Screen Recording and Full Disk Access) please proceed with the following:
- Click Allow next to each of the three options (one at a time) and follow along. You should be brought to the Security and Privacy window:
- Click the padlock on the bottom left-hand corner and enter your Mac's login credentials. This allows the system to make the required changes.
- The previously greyed-out icons (on the right) should now light up. Scroll through this list until you see Splashtop Streamer and tick the checkbox.
Note: Depending on your Mac version, you may be asked to quit Splashtop during this process. If presented with the option, please click "later". Otherwise, please call IT Support and we can assist. - Repeat steps 1-3 for each setting: Accessibility, Screen Recording and Full Disk Access. When allowing the Full Disk Access setting, please tick both the Splashtop Streamer and Atera checkbox.
You're all set! Your Mac agent setup is now complete.
