Pool permissioning

[BenBrazil]

Hi,

I am running a View 4.6 environment.

I am looking for a solution to the following problem.

We have a VDI pool which is restricted to a select user group - Group A.

We are now looking at providing this pool to another user group - Group B, but have a specific requirement concerning its use.

We would like to prevent Group A from accessing the pool from the thin clients that Group B will be using to access the pool. We are using Wyse Terminals with the WTOS operating system.

Is there a way to prevent Group A from accessing the pool from Group B's Wyse Terminals?

Many thanks,

Ben

Off the top of my head I can't think of a way through the View side of things.   Is there a way to block Group A from utilizing Group B's thin clients all together which would achieve what your looking to do.

Thanks for your reply.

I'm looking into it from the Wyse side but dont think it can be done.

An ugly solution but it would work:

Create a script that checks the IP address of the virtual desktop thin client (easily done).

SUDO Script:

If usergroup("Group B") then

    if IP address is Group A thin clients then

        force logoff or lock workstation

    end if

end if

It's ugly but if that is something you would want I will post the actual code to make that happen.
