Desktops and their groups

In Cloud Desktop, the main resource is a desktop. This is a virtual Ubuntu-based workspace deployed in the Yandex Cloud infrastructure.

One desktop is assigned to one user within an organization created in Cloud Organization. Users connect to desktops over the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP).

Each desktop belongs to a desktop group. All desktops in the group use the same computing resources and the same network.

All desktop and desktop group operations are logged.

Cloud Desktop leverages Yandex Identity and Access Management roles and access control lists (ACL) to manage access. This example shows how access control works in Cloud Desktop.
