I've been turning on ARD with an ARD kickstart script, which works wonderfully. However, I have a new boss and he for some reason is worried all my coworkers are going to start viewing people's screens without their consent.

The "Show Remote Management status in menu bar" is what he wants turned on, but I can't see a way to turn that on for everyone. I tried making a composer package, but that had no effect.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Here is the kickstart script we are using.

#!/bin/sh
/System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Resources/kickstart -activate -configure -access -on -restart -agent -allowAccessFor -allUsers -privs -all

Answered my own question, but I'll post my fix in case anyone is as clueless as me haha. It's just another option in the kickstart command.
I added it on the end.

#!/bin/sh
/System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Resources/kickstart -activate -configure -access -on -restart -agent -allowAccessFor -allUsers -privs -all -setmenuextra -menuextra yes
