Inviting Users to Your Reservation

Windows

PLEASE NOTE - On Windows, a maximum of 1 user may be signed in at any given time on a VM regardless of how many users have been granted access.

  1. Connect to your VM using Remote Desktop.
  2. Click on the start menu, and search for Windows PowerShell.
  3. Right click on Windows PowerShell and select Run as administrator
  4. Within the PowerShell console, run the following command to grant another active Duke user access to your VM (replace with the user's real NetID):
Add-LocalGroupMember -Group Administrators -Member WIN\<NetID>

Linux

OIT provides a script to automate authentication for additional users. Clone or download the script from here: https://gitlab.oit.duke.edu/devil-ops/users

Follow the instructions from the repo documentation, but basically: $ sudo ./install.sh NETID
