[UniMacTech] changing managed user settings using ARD?

Couldnt you just crete a "Managed" ie parental controlled account that  
only allows access to specific applications?
this is available in the accounts panel of the system prefs.

not sure how changing the status of this on the fly would go?

Just a thought.
