I have a windows server 2019 mounted on Azure

Two users connect without problem to the remote desktop, now I have a third person who needs to access simultaneously, and when I try this I am asked to disconnect one of the two active people.

I have not found how to do this in azure

Hi @Carlos Sabogal , by default there can only be maximum 2 concurrent user sessions for windows server OS, be it on-prem or Azure. To configure more concurrent user session, as mentioned below by @Sreeju Nair and @Andreas Baumgarten , you have two options:

Configure RDS CALs

Provision an AVD environment based upon your requirement

Please don't forget to and if you think the information provided below by @Sreeju Nair was useful so that it can help others in the community looking for help on similar issues.

By default, Windows Servers suports two concurrent sessions. If you want to allow more than two users, that means your Server is a Terminal server and you need to install RDS (Remote Desktop Services) CALs (Client Access Licenses). The following article will help you to configure this in your environment.

Hopet this helps.

But this applies to local servers, my installation is based on Azure.
What I understand is that there are two different ways of working access

It doesn't matter where the Windows Server 2019 is hosted. The limitation of 2 concurrent RDP sessions is per VM on-premises or running on Azure.
If you need more than 2 concurrent RDP on the Windows Server 2019 you need the RDS role installed + RDS CALs like @Sreeju Nair described in his answer.

Maybe Azure AVD is an option? https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/virtual-desktop/
