In a world of growing technology and mobile workplaces, the need for remote support is more critical than ever. Although using remote desktops tools has become quite common in the last time, there may still be some concerns regarding security when using remote support tools. “If we install this software on our computers, can we be sure that no one outside the company can access our computers?” This is a question that we have heard quite often, that´s why we developed our whitelist feature.
The session has ended status: win3210060. I'm viewing my remote 1920x1024 monitor with my 1600x900 one. I can therefore choose between shrinking the screen to my lower resolution or use original size and slide the screen sometimes when something is at the edge and can't be seen.

Overview
As you know, to start a session, you need the computer’s AnyDesk address. The request must then be confirmed by the computer user before the session is established. The whitelist sets out exactly who is authorized to access your computer. If the whitelist is active, only a pre-defined group of people will be able to connect. This ensures that nobody who isn’t authorized to do so can start a session. The whitelist could contain all the computers in your IT department, for example. Or perhaps just your own personal laptop, so that requests can only be made from there.
Setting up your whitelist
You can find the Access Control List in the security tab of the AnyDesk settings. In order to activate access control, the security tab has to be unlocked. Use the + button to add an entry. A text entry will appear at the bottom of the list. Entries can be removed using the “-” button after they have been selected. After setting up the list, only users who are on the whitelist have the ability to access that particular device.

Wildcards (* and ?) are supported to match against an alias (pc-1@ad). This is useful for example to restrict connections to a specific company (e.g. *@company will grant access to service-1@company, service-2@company, but not to trudy@competitor) or even to specific hosts (e.g. service-?@company will grant access to service-1@company and service-2@company, but not to sales-1@company). Wildcards do not apply to numerical ids.
At AnyDesk, we pride ourselves in putting our customers and users first, always working to ensure our solutions are the best available in the market. Please keep in mind that we are planning to bring you more security features that will allow you more detailed control on who can access which computer.

I downloaded and installed anydesk (free licence) in Ubuntu 18.04:
But it does not allow me to change the 'alias' (change the number to a custom alias, like e.g. [email protected] or [email protected]) (see fingerprint)
According to anydesk (source) you have to modify this file:
But they do not explain how to permanently change it. How can I change the alias of anydesk? Thanks in advance
Update: (thanks to @danzel)
Anydesk Win32 10060
This question maybe has no answer (for free license). I have consulted with the official Anydesk, and only the Anydesk professional and enterprise license can change the ID to Alias. Therefore the free version can not.See https://support.anydesk.com/AnyDesk_ID_and_Alias
Note: If AnyDesk is used portable (not installed), only the ID is displayed and no Alias can be assigned.

So, at least on my part, this question is closed. Thanks to all the participants
