Azure Virtual Desktop - Per User External User Licensing?
Hello,
Does the "Per user access pricing for external users" support allowing external parties to connect to a full Virtual Desktop?
The first link below shows the license as an option for "Virtual Desktops":
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/virtual-desktop/
This article announcing it only seems to specify "remote app streaming":
I'm trying to understand if we can utilize a full desktop for a specific use case we have for when we need to have 3rd party auditors review our organization's work.
Thank you in advance.
- Both remote apps and desktops can be accessed by the external users. There is an extra cost for allowing access to desktops over only allowing remote app access. More info can be found here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/remote-app-streaming/licensing

janzhang AVD does not support B2B or B2C yet. The identities remain the same as any other AVD deployment, they must exist in ADDS and Azure AD. More info can be found here: Set up managed identities in Azure Virtual Desktop - Azure | Microsoft Docs
