In a work group environment, like I use at home and like most home users use, the user Ids you add
are local to the machine that is acting as the Remote Desktop host. Example...

PC A (Remote Desktop host)

Administrator A
User 1
User 2

PC B (Remote Desktop client)

Administrator B
User 3
User 4

In this case you would need to login to PC A from PC B, using Remote Desktop, with a user Id of
Administrator A or User 1 or User 2. This presumes User 1 and/or User 2 have been added to the
Remote Desktop Users Group on PC A...
