Authorize users to use VOI clients

About this task

If you create a VOI desktop pool for single-user or multi-user authorization, you must bind each VOI client with one user account or authorize users to share the clients 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 VOI clients in the pool to access desktop services without providing a username and password.

Configure single-user authorization

Perform this task to bind each VOI client in a VOI desktop pool to one user if that pool uses single-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 clients in a VOI desktop pool for desktop services if that pool uses multi-user authorization. When an authorized user logs in to an idle VOI client, the system automatically binds the user with that client.

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

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

  1. In the dialog box that opens, select users and user groups to authorize.
