This deployment component will use a global variable named HUNTRESS_ACCOUNT_KEY (defined in Step 2 below) for the Huntress "Account Key" and the Datto RMM "Site Name" as the Huntress "Organization Name" in Huntress. (Datto RMM exposes the site name by setting an environment variable named CS_PROFILE_NAME, which is what the component uses for the Huntress organization name.) If the organization does not yet exist in Huntress, it will be created automatically.

You can always move agents to the appropriate organization after the installation.

Variable Mapping:

• Datto RMM HUNTRESS_ACCOUNT_KEY variable → Huntress Account Key (manually retrieve from the Huntress web portal)
• Datto RMM Site Name (CS_PROFILE_NAME) → Huntress Organization Name
