Use your organization names as string data. You can add multiple organizations: Use lowercase letters only Add each organization on a separate line Do not use spaces or commas as separators Restart Docker Desktop. Verify the Sign in required! prompt appears in Docker Desktop.\n\nDeploy the registry key across your organization using Group Policy\n\nCreate a registry script with the following structure: Path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Policies\\Docker\\Docker Desktop Value name: allowedOrgs (multi-string) Value data: Your organization names, one per line, in lowercase only In Group Policy Management, create or edit a GPO. Navigate to Computer Configuration > Preferences > Windows Settings > Registry. Right-click Registry > New > Registry Item. Configure the registry item: Action: Update Path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Policies\\Docker\\Docker Desktop Value name: allowedOrgs Value data: Your organization names Link the GPO to the target Organizational Unit. Test on a small group using gpupdate/force. Deploy organization-wide after verification.\n\nAttribution: Adapted from Docker Documentation under Apache-2.0.
