Hi all, I'm working through the Windows 365 Trial experience with a customer. They have 12 licenses and each one is assigned to a user.
The various users connect correctly to their cloud pcs and work.
In case a user has problems with the pc we tested the connection with quick assist and it works correctly.
The customer requires, if it exists, a way to connect to those pc with a local administrator and not with the user owner of the pc.
is it possible? can you tell me how to do it?
Thanks
Regards
Valentina

@valetedo Then, in my limited experience so far, sounds like you're asking the same question as this; https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/windows-365/is-it-possible-to-have-multiple-users-per-microso... - not answered, but I think the answer is going to be no. After all, the license for a single machine is assigned to a single user.
That said, I just tried! And I could RDP into my Cloud PC using a different account to the one that is assigned. But, a) that account is local admin (via a Restricted Groups policy) and b) the Cloud PC is connected 'internally' via our own Azure VNET.
So, it might be possible for you, but it's a question of how you'd ensure the other user (IT support I assume) was granted rights to RDP (either added to local admins, or remote desktop users), and about allowing incoming access from an untrusted network.
Same scenario as a physical device at someone's home - can the IT support staff RDP to that device? If you can set that up (no VPN either, unless Device level one), then you can do the same for a Cloud PC.
