How to enable desktop connection with remote desktop services web access

Question

I'm evaluating Remote Desktop Services. I have a single node running and running the license server on the RDS Server. I've checked the configuration of the RDS server and licensing is active, and everything is green.

Server Manager shows everything is operation with no events.

I assume, that I should be able to connect to a desktop in the domain or another server in the domain when accessing via RDS Web Access.

However, when I connect to https://server.example.com/rdweb (URL is a fake URL of course), I only see calculator, paint, and wordpad. I do not see an option to connect to another device, which I thought I should be able to accomplish, after all the title of RDWeb says "Work Resouces, Remote APP and Desktop Connection"

Am I wrong? Is RDWEB only published apps?

If I'm right, that I should be able to connect to a desktop or server in the domain, please help, I'd like more information on how to accomplish the enablement of connections to other servers or desktop as an RDP connection if possible.

Hello Surfingjoe

Have you added your Remote Desktop Session Hosts to the collection or pool that you intend to publish?

Ensure that the users or groups you want to grant access to these resources have the necessary permissions. You can configure these permissions in the "Collections" section under Remote Desktop Services.

Thanks,
