Answer 1

Hi

as per the article here:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/deploy-azure-ad-joined-vm#assign-user-access-to-host-pools

assign the "Virtual Machine User Login" permissions role to the same App Groups that you are using to assign users to Desktops or Remote Apps in your Host Pools. You can do this at Resource Group level and assign the roles to the "Windows Virtual Desktop" scope.

Hope this helps,

Thanks

Hello,

you can use groups to assign the permissions and roles, and use powershell to automate the management of the group, or allow owners to manage membership of groups.
