Permission to share your screen (meaning they control it) is done iMac to iMac on an individual case. You invite the other person to take over your screen. Or you can ask them if you can take over their screen, both are possible.
Easiest way to make this happen Is to start a Message conversation (texting) with a person on the other iMac. On that text conversation screen in the upper right corner is an i in a circle in a box. click on the i and the persons name you are texting will appear and in the center, below the name will be an icon for share (it should be blue if sharing is enabled on both iMacs) ) click on the blue share icon and two options will show.
A. Invite to share my screen
B. Ask to share screen.
You will want to Ask to share the screen for the other iMac which will generate an allow "person name" to share my screen? request on the other iMac. The other iMac grants sharing permission and then the requesting iMac gets to take over the other iMac.
It seems complicated to describe but it takes seconds to do. My son and I do it all the time. He lives 30 miles away.
Maybe we need to take this offline if this explanation doesn't work.
