What is a VDI-User?
A VDI-User is a user who can access Dispel only through a Virtual Desktop (VDI).
Note: Unlike normal Users, VDI-Users are not able to access Dispel through any means other than the Virtual Desktop they are assigned. For example, even if a VDI-User has the Dispel Application natively downloaded, their credentials will not work. Login will only work through the Virtual Desktop registered to them.
