VDI session management permissions

Create a session

Controls whether or not a user is allowed to launch their own VDI session from the My Virtual Desktops page. Disable this to deny non-admin users the ability to launch their own VDI sessions. Users can always stop and terminate their own VDI sessions.

If a non-admin user does not have permissions to create a session, the Launch New Virtual Desktop button will be disabled for them as shown here:

Create or Terminate the sessions of others

Allows non-admin users to access the Sessions page from the left-hand navigation pane. These users will be able to launch VDI sessions for other users in the projects where they have been granted this permission.

If a non-admin user has permission to launch sessions for other users, their left-hand navigation pane will display the Sessions link under Session Management as shown here:
