I don't know about docker at all but is that the username you setup that's used for mesh?

Or possibly the real name setup?

I misread....saw D and assumed docker 😂.

Easiest and best thing is to not change it. But you can change the nickname in mesh.

  1. Log into tactical
  2. Right click and take control on any PC
  3. Go to https://mesh.yourdomain.com
  4. Click on TacticalRMM Group (or go to my account then Tactical RMM)
  5. Click on Edit button next to User Consent and set the settings that you would like configured
  6. In User Authorisations and select the default account created by Tactical (if you have mulitple it should show as Full Administrator)
  7. Next to Real Name click the edit button and change this to the name you want customers to see, for example for us we have it set as the business name rather than individuals
