Then you probably need to wait until different access levels are
implemented in epoptes before using it. And I imagine you also shouldn't
be using SSH and other similar services. There's no point in having the
user consent for viewing her screen, if you can run arbitrary commands
and do whatever you want (including capturing her keystrokes or screen
contents or accessing her files) without her authorization.

So, just preparing for future access levels, could I ask a couple of questions about it?
 * Is this also valid for public labs, like school computer classes? I mean, isn't there always a sysadmin there that can access anything?
 * Which of the actions that epoptes supports, could e.g. a teacher perform to pupils screens in Italy without asking for their permission? Is e.g. screen locking or sound muting also prohibited without permission? What about getting client information or fullscreen teacher screen broadcasting?
