Workstations

Workstations are the machines Computle hosts for your organisation. An administrator manages them from the Machines, Operations and Monitoring sections of the portal sidebar: who has which workstation, whether it is running and healthy, what is installed and patched on it, and the policies that apply when someone connects.

Administrator access

Every page in this section needs the Tenant Admin role. Machine Imaging, Patch Management, Workstation Telemetry, Vulnerabilities and App deployment appear only when they are part of your organisation’s subscription.

A new starter, from invitation to first session

1. Add the person under Users.

   Invite them with their work email address. See Users.

2. Assign them a workstation.

   On the Workstations page, click ⋯ on an Available workstation and choose Edit Assignment. Choose the user and a connection method and click Save Changes. See Assigning workstations.

   

3. Check the workstation is ready.

   On the Workstations page its status reads Assigned, its Health reads Online and its Entra column shows it joined to your directory. If it is off, click ⋯ and Start; see Start, restart or shut down a workstation. The columns are explained under Workstations.

   

4. Set the policies that apply to their sessions.

   Device features decides whether they can share USB devices and the clipboard, and what the workstation does when they disconnect. See App Settings.

5. They install the app and connect.

   See Install the app.
