Connect to Mac Mini without sharing the screen
When I connect to my mac mini (from my Mac Book Air) what happens is that the connection is made as a regular screen sharing. So if someone connects a screen to the mac mini then all the activity is seen. But if there's already another user connected then I get a message saying that another user is already using the display, and then I can choose to share the screen or to "login as yourself", and that's great!
How can I always connect as login so each user get his privacy?
MacMini: macOS Sierra 10.12.5

Thanks!
Using other software, RealVNC, should fix your problem.
- Download RealVNC. You only need a personal license, which is free.
- Enable Remote Management. Go into System Preferences > Sharing > Remote Management.
- Configure RealVNC. It can be set up pretty much however you'd like.
- Connect to your computer. This will land you on the login page for your mac, and will only share a screen with it if logged in as the current user.
