# Session Log — 2026-04-20 (Mac)
## User
- **User:** Mike Swanson (mike)
- **Machine:** Mikes-MacBook-Air.local
- **Role:** admin
- **Mode:** general
## Session Summary
GuruRMM agent v0.6.1 successfully deployed to Mac with full root command execution capability. Agent authenticated and online in RMM dashboard. PROJECT_STATE.md updated with deployment details. Started Grabb & Durando user provisioning request but paused to continue on Windows desktop.
---
## Work Completed
### 1. GuruRMM Agent Mac Deployment (v0.6.1)
**Problem:** Mac agent showing offline in RMM dashboard.
**Investigation:**
- Found stale agent entry from 2026-04-03 (crashed 4 seconds after connection)
- Agent ID: 6177bcac-e046-4166-ac76-a6db68a363ab
- Deleted from RMM database
**Fresh Installation:**
- Built macOS ARM64 binary (3.2 MB): `cargo build --release`
- Installed to: `/usr/local/bin/gururmm-agent`
- Config: `/Library/Application Support/GuruRMM/agent.toml`
- LaunchDaemon: `/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.azcomputerguru.gururmm.plist`
- Logs: `/Library/Logs/GuruRMM/agent.log` and `agent-error.log`
**Authentication Fix:**
- Initial problem: Config had `site_code = "SWIFT-CLOUD-6910"` + `api_key = "site-code-auth"`
- Issue: Agent only reads `api_key` field from config (no `site_code` field in struct)
- Solution: Set `api_key = "SWIFT-CLOUD-6910"` (the actual site code)
- Embedded site code system only used during `install` command, not `run` command
**Passwordless Sudo Configuration:**
- Created `/etc/sudoers.d/claudetools` with passwordless rules for GuruRMM operations
- Used wildcard paths (`/Library/Application*`) to handle spaces in paths
- Purpose: Manual ClaudeTools operations (agent already runs as root)
**Deployed Agent Details:**
- **Agent ID:** 001d5198-7807-4d63-b46d-069c9c10ed75
- **Hostname:** Mikes-MacBook-Air.local
- **OS:** macOS 26.3.1 (Darwin ARM64)
- **Version:** 0.6.1
- **Site:** Main Office (SWIFT-CLOUD-6910)
- **Status:** online
- **Runs as:** root (no UserName key in LaunchDaemon plist)
**Command Execution Test:**
- Sent via RMM API: `whoami && hostname && uname -a`
- Result: Executed as root successfully
- Exit code: 0
- Duration: 61ms
- Output:
```
root
Mikes-MacBook-Air.local
Darwin Mikes-MacBook-Air.local 25.3.0 Darwin Kernel Version 25.3.0: Wed Jan 28 20:54:55 PST 2026; root:xnu-12377.91.3~2/RELEASE_ARM64_T8132 arm64
```
**Security Model:**
- Agent connects once with site code authentication
- All subsequent commands execute as root without additional auth
- No per-command authorization prompts
- Anyone with RMM dashboard access to "Main Office" site can execute commands
**Files Created:**
- `temp/setup-sudo-for-claudetools.sh` - Initial bootstrap script (had sudoers syntax errors)
- `temp/setup-sudo-for-claudetools-fixed.sh` - Fixed version using wildcards
### 2. PROJECT_STATE.md Updates
Updated `projects/gururmm-agent/PROJECT_STATE.md`:
- Status changed: COMPLETE → ACTIVE
- Last Activity: 2026-03-31 → 2026-04-20

## Pending Tasks
### Grabb & Durando User Provisioning (TO CONTINUE ON WINDOWS)
**What needs to be done:**
1. Sign in to https://admin.microsoft.com as sysadmin@grabblaw.com
2. Navigate to Users > Active users > Add a user
3. Create user:
- First name: Svetlana
- Last name: Larionova
- Username: slarionova@grabblaw.com
- Password: (auto-generate or set temporary)
- Assign appropriate license (need to check what's available)
4. Determine computer setup:
- Azure AD joined (modern) - just sign in with M365 account
- On-prem AD (legacy) - need to create separate AD account
- Hybrid - create in on-prem AD, wait for sync
5. Configure computer login on "Parker's computer":
- Need computer name/hostname
- Need domain info (if on-prem AD)
**Questions to answer:**
- What M365 licenses are available in the tenant?
- What type of computer setup do they have? (Azure AD / On-prem AD / Hybrid)
- What's the computer name that Parker was using?
- Does she need any special folder/file permissions?
**Reference for computer login:**
- Azure AD joined: Sign in directly with slarionova@grabblaw.com
- On-prem AD: Need domain admin access to create/modify AD user
- Hybrid: Create in AD, wait for Azure AD Connect sync (typically 30 min)

## Technical Notes
### GuruRMM Agent Authentication Flow
1. Agent loads config from TOML file
2. Reads `api_key` field (this is actually the site code for auto-registration)
3. Connects to WebSocket: wss://rmm-api.azcomputerguru.com/ws
4. Sends Auth message with api_key, device_id, hostname, OS info
5. Server validates site code and auto-registers agent to site
6. Returns AuthAck with agent_id
7. Agent maintains persistent WebSocket connection
8. Server can send Command messages at any time
9. Agent executes commands using shell (sh -c on Mac/Linux, cmd /C on Windows)
10. Commands inherit agent's privileges (root on Mac LaunchDaemon)
### Embedded Site Code System
- Purpose: Allow pre-configured agent downloads with site code embedded
- Format: Binary trailer appended to agent executable
- Structure: `[site_code][4-byte LE u32 length][8-byte magic "GRMM_CFG"]`
- Used during: `install` command only
- At runtime: Agent reads `api_key` from config file, NOT from embedded trailer
- For Mac deployment: Manual config file creation was simpler than embedding
### macOS LaunchDaemon Privileges
- No `UserName` key = runs as root
- `RunAtLoad` = starts on boot
- `KeepAlive` = restarts if crashes
- Standard output/error to log files
- ProgramArguments order matters: `--config` must come before `run` subcommand
### PROJECT_STATE.md Protocol
- Mandatory for any project with PROJECT_STATE.md file
- Read before acting, claim lock, perform action, release lock + log changes
- Stale lock rule: >2 hours without update = abandoned, can be cleared
- Actions requiring locks: code changes, git commits, SSH commands, DB changes, builds
- Reading/planning does NOT require locks

- Determine why consent flow isn't showing permissions prompt
- Consider PowerShell-based service principal installation if needed
- Document findings in client PROJECT_STATE.md
3. **Update Grabb & Durando PROJECT_STATE.md:**
- Change status from STALLED to ACTIVE
- Add infrastructure details (M365 tenant, admin credentials reference)
- Log this user provisioning work in Recent Changes
- Add any discovered information about their setup
---
## Context for Next Session
**Current situation:**
- Mac GuruRMM agent is fully deployed and operational
- RMM can now execute root commands on this Mac via dashboard
- Received urgent user provisioning request for Grabb & Durando
- Need to create Svetlana Larionova's account by tomorrow (April 22)
- Consent link for remediation tool had issues, will create account manually
- User wants to continue this work on Windows desktop (easier for M365 admin tasks)
**Why switching machines:**
- M365 Admin Center works better on Windows browsers
- Likely has saved sessions/credentials for M365 portals
- May have PowerShell modules installed if needed
**What's ready:**
- Admin credentials confirmed: sysadmin@grabblaw.com / r3tr0gradE99!
- Tenant ID confirmed: 032b383e-96e4-491b-880d-3fd3295672c3
- New user details documented above
- Start date is tomorrow - this is time-sensitive
