Restrict to you? -- you in the ACL

Restict to the computer? -- computer account in the ACL.

(And we really should put a LOCAL group in the ACL for
the resources -- put the 'users', including computer accounts
in a global group and place that global in the Local with the
permissions.)

And of course you could do both: put anyone in group
with permissions. Or use two groups and give yourself
(admin) full control, and the computers read so they can
install it.
