Error in the MeshServer operation: meshuser.js:792 about meshcentral HOT 6 OPEN

hmm very strange its crashing when u ask meshcentral for a list of nodes, and a device has rdp credentials BUT its crashing because the user doesnt have a id assigned to it? can u replicate the issue? like a certain admin logging in with certain browsers or using meshctrl?

I will try to reproduce the problem and write to you in detail

I can't reproduce the problem in any way, there is no pattern. It can work two or three times without errors, the last two days, every day an error, restarting the MeshCentral service:

if you are comfortable,
change obj.user._id to user._id, restart meshcentral, then keep an eye out and see if it crashes again

the commit for this line hasnt changed in 2 years - 753b6c2#diff-534d32533813bb72f2e9474b37160f11b5a292ff14ba57f1483044c092bd5b57R751

BUT when checking the commit the is lots of user._id and only that the rdp and ssh lines showing obj.user._id

and after checking it here obj.user seems to match user, so it might be ur setup isnt setting obj.user somewhere?
