tenant and tenant group when connecting to management REST API

Question

Hi All

We're in the process of moving from classic WVD to the new Azure Virtual Desktop.

One part of the process that is critical to us is the ability to automate the addition/removal of user mappings to application groups. In the classic system this is a mess of powershell etc, which we're looking forward to removing.

Looking at the management api I'm assuming it's the "Assign Application Role" endpoint ( https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/virtual-desktop/app-group/assign-application-role ) that we need to be using, except that I'm not sure what values we should be using for tenantGroupName and tenantName in the AVD setup?

Any help would be very much appreciated

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Hi @Mark Middlemist

Issue summary:
You are migrating from classic WVD to AVD and looking for the best way to achieve it. You are also looking for information on the management API.

Recommendation :
The API referenced in your post is the legacy API for WVD classic. It can’t be used for the current ARM-based version of AVD.

The App Group related API is documented here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/desktopvirtualization/application-groups

We also offer PowerShell modules to automate the migration from classic to the current model: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/automatic-migration

Hope that helps.

Answer 2

Many thanks for the response, and that makes sense

Just looking through the API reference I can't spot where we can grant users access to the application groups. If you can point me to that bit then that should get us where we need to be

We are specifically avoiding use of powershell for this automation as it causes several issues in our existing system and are looking to remove all use of it in the new version

Thanks again
