How to Manage Users in Your flexidesktop Team

Welcome to your new flexidesktop Team! This guide will walk you through how to access your Team desktop, manage users, and connect via web or Remote Desktop.

Step 1: Access Your Account

Once your order is complete, you’ll receive a confirmation email.

To access your flexidesktop Team, follow these steps:

1. Set your Dashboard password:
   For your first login, you’ll need to create a password for your customer dashboard. After your order is completed, you’ll receive an email with a link to set this password.
   (If you can’t find the email, please check your spam folder.)
2. Log in to your account:
   Visit: www.flexidesktop.com/my-account/ and log in with your email and the password you just set.
3. Access your desktops:
   In the main menu, click “My Desktops”.

Step 2: Find Your Team Desktop

Inside My Desktops, scroll to the Team Desktops section.

• You’ll see a list of your active flexidesktop Team subscriptions.
• Click “Manage” next to the Team desktop you want to configure.

Step 3: Create and Manage Users

When you first sign up for flexidesktop Team, your virtual desktop is delivered without any users created by default. To get started, go to the Users tab and click on Add user:

Creating a New User

A popup window will appear where you must fill in the following fields:

• Login Email
  This will be the web access login for this user.
• First name & Last name
  These are the Windows user details.
  Based on these values, a Windows username will be automatically generated.
• Password
  This password will be used for both Web access login + Windows user login
• The password must meet the following security requirements:
  At least 10 characters
  At least one uppercase letter
  At least one number
  At least one special character
• Administrator (Windows user)
  If enabled, the user will have full administrator privileges on the virtual desktop.
  If disabled, the user will be created as a regular user with limited permissions (no software installation, no system changes, etc.).

Once all fields are complete, click Create.

Editing a User

After a user is created, you can edit:

• Web access email
• First name and last name
• Password
• Administrator privileges

⚠️ The Windows username cannot be modified, as it is automatically generated and fixed.

Deleting a User

You can also delete any user you no longer need.
⚠️ Important:
Once a user is deleted, their Windows profile and all associated files will be permanently lost, and recovery will not be possible.

User Limits

The maximum number of users you can create depends on your flexidesktop Team plan.
Make sure you do not exceed your plan’s allowed user limit.

Step 4: Connect to Your flexidesktop (Web or Remote Desktop)

Connect via Web Browser

Once your user is created, click the Connect button to open the web access login page, or use the login page that corresponds to the datacenter where your flexidesktop is hosted:

• USA/Canada → https://login-us.flexidesktop.com
• Europe → https://login-eu.flexidesktop.com
• Asia-Pacific → https://login-ap.flexidesktop.com

Enter the web username and password that you just created in the previous step.

After logging in, you will be automatically connected to your flexidesktop Team environment using your new Windows user.
✅ No additional Windows login is required — everything is handled automatically.

Connect via Remote Desktop (Optional)

If you prefer to use the Microsoft Remote Desktop client, you can request Remote Desktop access from the “Remote Desktop” tab in the same page.
Our team will enable the necessary configuration and send you the connection details.

FAQ

Q: Can I manage users directly from Windows?
A: User management must be done from the flexidesktop dashboard.
From the Users tab you can create additional web users, create or edit Windows users, and assign administrator access. All changes are handled directly from the dashboard—no need to manage accounts from inside Windows.

Q: Can multiple users connect at the same time?
A: Yes, as long as they use different Windows user accounts.
If two people sign in using the same Windows username, the first session will be closed automatically.

Q: How do I request Remote Desktop access?
A: Go to the Remote Desktop tab inside your flexidesktop Team dashboard and submit the request.
Our team will prepare your connection details and notify you when it’s ready.

Q: Can I upgrade my flexidesktop Team plan later?
A: Yes. You can upgrade anytime from your dashboard, and the additional CPU, RAM and users limit will be applied automatically within a few minutes—your data stays intact.

Q: How long does it take to process user changes?
A: User updates are applied instantly.
As soon as you create or edit a user in the dashboard, the change is applied in real time and the new credentials are ready to use.
