New User Management - March 2026
Starting March 18, 2026, our new and improved user management is rolling out to all accounts. Account management actions—including merging Agents, setting the tracking status, and much, much more—are now managed on the new Users page. The following pages will be read-only: User Agents, User Aliases, and Do Not Track. Learn more!
Making your ActivTrak data easier to read starts with good naming. Instead of seeing cryptic computer names like "DESKTOP-M7DNT0Q" or generic usernames, you can create meaningful aliases and display names that make reports instantly understandable.
Computer Aliases, User Aliases & Display Names
Let’s start by defining the difference between computer and user naming. Both focus on improving user experience by replacing technical identifiers with more intuitive, human-readable labels, making systems easier to navigate and understand.
