Roger_Cox yes, I believe PS is the only way. try this:

Get-RDSRoleAssignment will list your WVD owners/contributors

Add another owner:

New-RdsRoleAssignment -TenantID <tenant> -RoleDefinitionName "RDS Owner" -SignInName username@domain.com

I just had to do this as I was training our app person on this preview and it worked just fine.

  Hi,
  Yes - this is possible with the following powershell:
  
  New-RdsRoleAssignment -RoleDefinitionName "RDS Owner" -GroupObjectId "<the GUID of your AD Group>" -TenantGroupName "<your WVD Tenant Group Name>" -TenantName "<your WVD Tenant Name>"
  
  Hope this helps you.
  
  BR,

  Yuukan I'm the wrong guy to ask. I'm just a customer. Looks like we can't just yet. I find it hard to believe that this service doesn't do group membership out of the box. I would vote for this on teh user voice.

stevenzelenko As WVD is now publicly available, does this have capability to support security group account access?
