Supported VMware Horizon View Functions
The support scope of the functions provided by VMware Horizon View is as follows:
Manual pool is only supported as the desktop pool type.
Linked clones are not supported.
Local mode is not supported.
Usage Authorization for VDI Pools
When making an application to use an L-Platform, a pool with the name defined in the L-Platform template will be created on VMware Horizon View.
This pool is equivalent to the VDI pool.
In order for users to use virtual desktops contained in the created VDI pool, usage authorization must be granted to the VDI pool.
By default, the user authorization specified when submitting the L-Platform usage application is given.
A group of an Active Directory domain can also be specified as the authorization given to the VDI pool.
When specifying a group of an Active Directory domain, the members of the specified group must include a user of the VDI pool.
