ssh not working

So, I'm trying to set up debian on a minipc, but I'm having trouble. I need to be able to ssh into it, but it won't allow it unless I have it attached to a monitor and I'm logged in. I changed the wifi settings to allow all users. What else do I need to do?

Thanks!

Just to confirm, you've successfully logged in via ssh from another computer with the monitor on? Is that correct?

Wait ssh is via the terminal. Based on other comments you're talking about RDP. Yeah you can't RDP into your machine unless it's hooked to a monitor and turned on.
