Hello,
We have an Active Directory that I deployed at our company, with a 1 to 1 association between employees and AD accounts.
Everything was working great until we deployed a machine (Windows 10) with Docker Desktop, for some of our internal services.
Because Docker Desktop runs in user space, it is hard for different members of the IT team to RDP onto the server and check on Docker. Only the user who started the service has access to it, and the others can't do anything.
(Docker Desktop also stores most of it's configuration in user directories)
My instinct for a quick fix without rethinking all of the solution would be to allow different AD users to log-in as shared local account.
Is that possible?
What would be the recommended practice for this use case?

Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.
Is that possible? What would be the recommended practice for this use case?
A: The way I think is that let these domain users know\remember this local user account and password.I hope the information above is helpful.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to let us know.

I already had implemented the solution you proposed and I was hoping to discover Active Directory features that would help me in this situation.
Thank you for taking the time to respond and confirming that there is no such feature!
Have a great day
