When I go to troubleshoot a device, it logs me in automatically as the Linux “nobody” account. I would like to instead log into our standard account or alternatvely as root. So where is the config to do that? I remember receiving a support email or ticket, but cannot locate it at the moment. I can’t really do anything with the “nobody” login, so not sure why it does that by default.

Thank you! 😊
