Using the local Administrators group on the image builder - Amazon AppStream 2.0

Using the local Administrators group on the image builder

To grant Active Directory users or groups local administrator rights on your image builder, you can manually add these users or groups to the local Administrators group on the image builder. Image builders that are created from images with these rights maintain the same rights.

The Active Directory users or groups to which to grant local administrator rights must already exist.

  1. Open the AppStream 2.0 console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/appstream2.

  2. Connect to the image builder in Administrator mode. The image builder must be running and domain-joined. For more information, see Tutorial: Setting Up Active Directory.

  6. Select all Active Directory users or groups to which to assign local administrator rights and choose OK. Choose OK again to close the Administrator Properties dialog box.

  7. Close Computer Management.
