Shared Virtual Machines Directory - Workstation Pro 17

It seems like the shared virtual machine feature is not included in Workstation Pro 17.  My team has a RDP terminal server with VMware workstation pro 16 installed on it - any user who creates a RDP session on the server can open Workstation Pro, see the list of virtual machines in the shared VM  directory, and utilize any of the virtual machines.....This feature does not seem to present in version 17....

Is there any kind of feature like that in version 17?

Not exactly.  Shared machines were removed in Workstation 16.2.x.  Workstation 17.x reintroduces auto-start VMs, which will start up when the host PC is booted up.
