[SOLVED] People of Lemmy. I'm trying (and failing) to get a friend onto my Tailnet. These are the steps: (1) I send them an invite. (2) They accept it. (3) I approve it. (4) They open the app and login. And ... nothing. They don't show up as connected on my admin panel and they can't access any of my connected machines (IP address is fine). I feel like I'm missing something really obvious but can't see what it is. Any ideas?

EDIT: All fixed. Needed to share machine directly, but this doesn't work for regular users. Once I deleted them as a user and then shared it was all good. Thanks everyone!

Why do they need to be part of your Tailnet? I usually just share a single machine.

Actually this fixed it. Thanks! They can access if I share it but NOT if I add them as a user and then share it. I had to delete them as a user first 🤷‍♂️

Even that doesn't work. I've made them an admin on the machine but they get a message saying they already have access to it. But ... they don't!
