Users and Applications

Who you grant access to the environment and which applications you publish, and how each user is associated with the apps they use

A Remote Desktop environment is built around two intersecting pieces: the users you grant access to and the applications you publish. Each user sees and uses only the applications you assign to them.

Users

You grant access to the users in your organization: they are the same people you already manage there, whom you now enable to enter the environment. For each one you define their connection mode and permissions, as you see in Connection modes and permissions.

• You add them one by one or in bulk upload when there are many.
• If the environment is integrated with a domain, you can associate the Remote Desktop user with their domain account (Active Directory).

Applications

The applications you publish live in the Applications section of the environment. For each one you control:

• Name: how it is shown to the user within the environment.
• Category: the type of application (database, utilities, etc.).
• Source: whether it comes from the Marketplace or from a manual installation.
• Users: who has access to it.

You have two ways to bring software into the environment:

• Marketplace: preconfigured applications that you add in a few steps.
• Manual installation: any other application, installed via console on the environment server.

📘 Publishing is installing and granting access

Publishing an application has two parts: installing it in the environment and associating it with the users who are going to use it. Until you associate it with a user, that user won't see it.

How users and applications intersect

Each user only sees the applications you assign to them. This way, a single environment serves different profiles: the administration team sees its ERP, the sales team sees its CRM, and no one sees what isn't theirs.
