Azure Virtual Desktop | Use multiple accounts for Workspace and VMs

Hi,

 

We have set up Azure Virtual Desktop and it works well, for security reasons, we are requested to use multiple logins :

One dedicated login to load the workspace, and another one to connect to the VM.

The login used to authenticate on the workspace must not be used to login to the VM

The login used to authenticate to the VM must not be used to login to the workspace.

 

Is it possible?

 

Thanks.

    no thats not possible...I would follow this: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/security-guide and would use Condtional Access > you can enable MFA to "azure virtual desktop"

      Thanks for your answer, we indeed are going to use MFA, but we want separate accounts for workspace and VM authentication.
      We are going to study a solution to update the AD groups authorized to connect to the VM separately from the Workspace RBAC.

      Thanks.
