What is an access profile

In a cloud environment, an access profile allows an end user to access and utilize a VM or an instance abstracting them from the underlying technical complexities. It provides a personalized desktop experience without requiring the user to have any knowledge of the virtual infrastructure. In this guide, we will explore the creation of access profiles that will allow end users to connect to managed VMs and VDI models.

Starting the Wizard

  1. To create an access profile, go to the Instances tab and select Create profile to initiate the Wizard.

  1. Next, select connection details.
