User's remote workstation setup

From the user's workstation/laptop they will work remotely from, and accessing their office workstation, they will need Screens (app) installed, by Edovia. This goes beyond the built-in screen sharing app that comes with MacOS, as it allows a SSH tunnel to be established first, and then provide the screen sharing service through that tunnel. No SSH key pairs required, since the user is establishing their connection using their office workstation credentials, per usual.
