Assign Users to Host Pools – Create and Configure Host Pools and Session Hosts

Assign Users to Host Pools

There are multiple ways to assign the user to a Azure Virtual Desktop host pool; you can use the Azure portal, PowerShell, or the CLI to add users to the host pool.

Follow these steps to add a user on the pooled or personal host pool:

\ 1.\ Log in to the Azure portal with the appropriate credentials that have permissions on the host pool and application group.

\ 2.\ Go to Azure Virtual Desktop and click the host pool on which you want to add users. See Figure 8-19.

\ 5.\ In the Add User pop-up, you can add a single user ID or group. The user or group must be synced/present in Azure AD. Click Save to add the user or group on the host pool and then you can use the Remote Desktop client on Windows/the Web/Mac and access Azure Virtual Desktop.

Note  If you are using the direct assignment type on the personal host pool, then you must assign the user to the session host in addition to the previous steps.
