Getting started with the Amazon DCV Session Manager console

The following topic describes how to use the Session Manager console.

Accessing the console

After successfully setting up the console, you can access it from a custom URL, configured during setup, from a web browser. See the Requirements for a list of supported web browsers.

Levels of access

There are two levels of access that you might have when using the console.

  • Owner – You created the session. You may be an admin or a user.

  • Administrator – You are the admin, and are viewing a session created by one of your users. You have the same permissions as the owner, including connecting to and closing the session.

Logging in to the Session Manager Console

From the Console home page, you can log in using your Amazon DCV credentials.

If you have trouble logging in, do one of the following:

  • If you are an administrator – You must debug the Auth Server. For more information, see Log in Errors in Troubleshooting.

  • If you are a user – Contact your administrator for assistance.
