RE: MeshCentral Feature Request: User Groups
Just published MeshCentral v0.4.6-y with User Groups feature fully enabled. Everything should be real-time so, creating a new group, adding users and adding the group to a device group should all show immediate results on all logged in user sessions. Good QA testing and feedback on this feature would be most appreciated.

RE: Comparing MeshCentral 2 to ScreenConnect
@Romo That is correct, the red "Agent Tag" is a "meshagent.tag" text file that is in the same folder that the "meshagent.exe". It can contain up to 1k of data sent to the server on each agent start. It's there so if you have some sort of automatic installation of the agent, you can put a serial number of something in that file and it gets sent up to the server. It pre-dates the other blue tagging that is server side only.
All this to say, the two tagging systems are completely separate. I can add you a "atag:<agenttag>" filter if you like? Let me know what you need.

RE: MeshCentral Feature Request: User Groups
Published MeshCentral v0.4.6-u with more progress made on the user interface. Clicking on a user will now show it's device groups and user group memberships and you can add/remove from that screen. User groups don't do anything yet, still a few more days before I try to enable them.

RE: MeshCentral Feature Request: User Groups
Published MeshCentral v0.4.6-s, making progress. The user interface in mostly done, you can make user groups by you can't do anything else with the group right now.

RE: MeshCentral Feature Request: User Groups
@scottalanmiller Someone reported the removing a device caused a server crash, but I just fixed it in v0.4.6-r. Apart from that, I started working on the user interface for managing user groups, it's in the "My Users" / "Groups" sub tab but it does nothing now. I plan to build a lot of the UI and groups management first.

RE: MeshCentral Feature Request: User Groups
Changing the user access control system is going cause a bunch of trashing in the code, published MeshCentral v0.4.6-q just now with lots of changes in preparation for user groups. If you spot anything wrong, please let me know.

RE: MeshCentral Feature Request: User Groups
@scottalanmiller Makes sense, I will start working on it. This is not going to be easy as it requires a change to how access control is done and there is more user interface work to be done to manage user groups, etc. This said, as you explained, it's an important feature. I will like to have users test the feature when I have early versions. I will post again with progress.

RE: MeshCentral Updates
In the case of MeshCentral v0.4.6-d, it was there for a few hours and I had to pull it because it had a bad issue. Once you put a version online, NPM does not allow you to reuse that version number so, it gets skipped. This said, I probably accidentally double bumped up the version number a few times in the past, causing a skip
In real news, I updated the public server, https://meshcentral.com last night to the very latest version. A lot of people use that server and it's sometimes months behind as I want to keep it stable. MeshCentral.com now requires that the privacy bar show up on the remote system when you do a remote desktop session, this is only hard coded for this specific server. You can still do remote desktop without the privacy bar when setting up your own server.

RE: Comparing MeshCentral 2 to ScreenConnect
@scottalanmiller Thanks for the new link. Just bookmarked it.
@black3dynamite Thanks for the distro, I will pass that to Bryan so he can test the agent with it.
