What is a Namespace?

A Namespace in AnyDesk defines the domain of an Alias - the portion that appears after the @. For example, in the alias john@company, @company is the namespace.

Namespaces serve two key purposes:

• Device identification: They help ensure precise and unique identification of devices.
• Access control: They can restrict Remote Access to only trusted devices within the same namespace, enhancing security.
