GPO to turn off screen saver lock for single RDS user

I need to configure a group policy object for a specific user connecting to an RDS server via a thin client.  It's a shared account and we don't want the screen saver to kick in so they have to type the shared account password. Just log in and keep it up.

I don't want any of the other users to be affected by this GPO, so I'm looking in the User configuration and can't locate the screen saver disable option or something similar. Where can I set this?  

Thanks..

Thanks for this information. We don't use loopback processing here, but I found that the "Do not display the lock screen" setting is under the computer configuration (Policies / Admin Templates / Control Panel / Personalization) and the same section under User Configuration doesn't have it.

Also we don't want to take away the auto-locking feature from everyone, just one user, and the Stop Windows Servers 'Locking' With Group Policy article would kill it for everyone correct?
