Create instances
Instances are preconfigured resources that users access, such as VDI environments, Windows desktops, and web applications. Each instance defines a specific resource for user authentication.
For example, if a user needs access to a Citrix VDI environment, you must first create a Citrix instance. Some instances require additional configurations during setup.
Important
After assigning and saving an instance to a user profile, you cannot change it. To assign a different instance, either:
Delete the existing profile and create a new one.
Keep the existing profile and create a separate profile for the new instance.
Use instances to ensure users access the correct resources while maintaining security and compliance.
You can configure the following types of instances based on the resources users need to access:
Example resource | Resource type | SG client type | Additional configuration |
|---|---|---|---|
Amazon Workspaces | Virtual Desktop Infrastructure | SG VDI | Registration Code |
Azure Virtual Desktop | Virtual Desktop Infrastructure | SG VDI | |
Citrix VDI | Virtual Desktop Infrastructure | SG VDI | |
Microsoft Remote Desktop | Virtual Desktop Infrastructure | SG VDI | RDP configuration file (optional) |
VMware Horizon virtual Desktop | Virtual Desktop Infrastructure | SG VDI | |
Windows 10/11 Desktop | Secure Desktop Environment | SG Desktop | |
Web Application | Web Application | SG Web | Please see SG Web Configuration |
iOS Device | Secure Mobile Environment | SG Mobile | Please see SG Web Configuration |
