Authorize users to use IDV clients

About this task

If you create an IDV desktop pool for single-user or multi-user authorization, you must bind each IDV client with one user account or authorize users to share the desktops in the desktop pool, respectively.

If you create the desktop pool for anonymous users, you do not need to configure authorization. Any users can log in to the IDV clients in the pool to access desktop services without providing a username and password.

Configure single-user authorization

Perform this task to bind each IDV client in an IDV desktop pool to one user if that pool uses single-user (or dedicated user) authorization.

  1. From the navigation pane, select Desktop Pools & Groups > Desktop Pools.

  1. Select the target desktop pool, and then click  in the Authorized User Login Name column for a client.

  1. In the dialog box that opens, select a user and an authorization policy, and then click OK.

Configure multi-user authorization

Perform this task to authorize selected users or user groups to share the desktops in an IDV desktop pool if that pool uses multi-user authorization. The authorized users can use any idle clients in the desktop pool to obtain desktop services. 

  1. From the navigation pane, select Desktop Pools & Groups > Desktop Pools.

  1. Select the target IDV desktop pool, and then click Users on top of the client list.
