It works. On the demo it appears to be disabled

Started playing with this at work. Our existing toolset is too legacy-minded for the current covid reality. So far I'm very impressed. I'd like to have more granular permissions options (like allowing users access to workstations but blocked on servers) but it's not a deal-breaker.

You aren't using a segmented network with firewall rules blocking incoming ports like RDP and SSH?

@scottalanmiller I know you've said in the past that the smallest VPS from vultr or DO should be more than sufficient for a meshcentral server. Tactial's documentation specifies 2GB of RAM, would a VPS option like the $10/mth DO shared CPU option (2GB RAM, 1CPU, 50G HDD, 2TB transfer/mth) be sufficient or should something beefier be used as a minimum setup?
Containerize it and you will only use the resources you need with the ability to scale when needed.

How does segmented networking affect the user permissions within Tactical. I get how it would segment the devices, but that does nothing for the RMM side. IE different teams of people to manage different equipment or resources.

This would most likely be an easier setup on K8s. I wouldn't recommend running prod stuff with docker-compose. You can just set up an ingress for those three hostnames with annotations and cert-manager will generate certs for them automatically.

He's saying if you segmented the network you wouldn't need to worry about those controls in the RMM at all.

So long as the clients have a connection to the controller, that's ALL an RMM tool cares about. Doesn't matter how many different networks the clients happen to be on or how well segmented the network is. He'd still need some way to manage who has access to certain groups of client systems.

Yeah I get that and @DustinB3403 and you are correct. As long as you manage assets together you could have this issue.
It's rare that workstations and serves are managed the same way using the same type of monitoring and controls. It's not something I've ever seen in my career, but I also haven't worked on Service Provider or consultant side.

Yeah, from the service provider side of things, servers and workstations are all managed from the same RMM.

It works. On the demo it appears to be disabled
Have you actually tried it?

Yes I set it up in my lab and used it on some equipment/vms without issue.

And the machines got patched?
Mine isn't working, that's why I'm asking. -

Ditto. Just have to invoke the scan or setup some automation
