Had a user having issues with installing a couple applications on their Windows 11 Azure Virtual Desktop.
I tried to remote log into the device but was not able to. I then went into the Nerdio console, found the appropriate Dynamic Host Pool, found the specific device, clicked to expand the menu on the Power On/Off button, and selected "Manage assigned user". I added my user name and removed the current user's name.
I should add here that I'm not the Nerdio/AVD admin; that person is on leave and I'm learning on the fly. I'm guessing what I just described doing in the console is something I should NOT have done. Now I can't reverse course and assign the AVD back to the original user. I can go through all the steps I just described: click "Manage assigned user", add the original user's name, remove my own name.
In Azure, I can see in the activity log for that AVD that an operation "Create role assignment" occurred just after I performed the above action. But in the Nerdio console, the device still lists me as the Assigned User.
Is there any way I can re-assign the device to the original user? Or is the best course of action to assign an unassigned device to the user? User had some apps installed on the AVD in question and had made some other customizations, which is why I was hoping to restore their access to it, although I suspect I might not be able to do even that, by virtue of having assigned myself as the user...I'm thinking by doing so, I possibly wiped out what the user had set up, but that's just a guess on my part.
