Configure and Access Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD)

Lab overview

Application groups in Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) are fundamental components that control how users access virtualized resources. These groups act as containers for remote applications or full desktops and provide the essential mechanism for managing user permissions. Understanding how to manage application groups and user assignments is a critical skill for Azure administrators, as it directly impacts how end users access their virtual desktop environment.

In this lab, you will learn how to manage user access in an Azure Virtual Desktop environment. You'll work with a pre-configured environment that includes all necessary infrastructure components, focusing specifically on assigning users to application groups and accessing resources through the web client.
