There are three tabs on the top left: Enumerate and Launch, Launch Desktops, and Logoff.
- Enumerate and Launch: Enumerate available resources for a User Principal Name (UPN) and allows launching a selected resource for the UPN.
-
Launch Desktops: Session Remote Start supports launching all desktops using three methods.
- Launch All Desktops of a User Principal Name (UPN)
- Launch All Desktops by Tags of a User Principal Name (UPN)
- Launch All Desktops assigned to the UPNs in the specified AD groups
-
Logoff: Logs off all sessions for a given UPN and device name.

Enumerate and Launch Resource of a User Principal Name (UPN)
Input the User Principal Name (UPN), then click Enumerate Resources.

Then choose a resource, for example: Daily ms 1 and click Launch Daily ms 1. The API waits for a logon notification from the VDA before returning to the caller.

A prompt appears with a notification if the resource is launched successfully. Then, check the session in the studio.
