Some GUI applets/utilities cannot control {{ic|tailscaled}} as a regular user and prompt for a password for every action/not connecting. Assigning the user as an operator fixes this:


{{Commands|1=$ sudo tailscale set --operator=USERNAME}}
{{Commands|1=$ sudo tailscale set --operator=USERNAME}}'''Note:''' There is currently a bug with the above command documented in: https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale/issues/18294
 
The workaround is to login and set the operator as part of connecting to tailscale. This section can be removed once the issue is resolved.
 
{{Commands|1=# for initial login
sudo tailscale login
 
# this will set your user as the operator for the future
sudo tailscale up --operator=$USER
 
# validate your user is an operator
tailscale debug prefs {{!}} grep -i operator}}
