Collections

Collections allow grouping multiple container profiles or workstations and assigning them to a set of users. They simplify the management of standardized environments (e.g., “Internet Navigation”, “DevOps”, “Render Farm”, etc.).

List of Collections

Overview of existing collections.

The Collections page displays all existing collections within the organization in a table format. Each row represents a collection and includes the following columns:

• Name: name of the collection (e.g. Internet Navigation, DevOps).

• Identifier: unique identifier of the collection, used for integrations or SSO mapping.

• Managing Group: indicates the group responsible for managing the collection (if defined). Administrators of this group can modify the collection.

• Created At: date when the collection was created.

From this view, you can:

• Click on a collection to open its detailed view (information, Container Profiles, Computers, and associated users).

• Create a new collection using the New Collection button.

Collection Profile

Main information of a collection.

From this profile view, you can manage:

• Assigned workstations

• Assigned container profiles

• Assigned users

• Deletion of the collection

Assign Workstations to a Collection

A Collection can contain a set of workstations. By assigning one or more computers to a Collection, you define which workstations will be available to users associated with that Collection.

1. Open the desired Collection profile.

2. Click on the Computers tab.

3. Click the Assign computers button.

Computer selection window for adding to the Collection.

4. Select one or more computers from the list.

5. Click Assign to confirm.

The selected workstations now appear in the Collection’s Computers tab, displaying their main details (name, etc.).

Workstations successfully assigned to a Collection.

• A user must be assigned to a Collection to access the workstations included in it.

• You can add or remove computers from a Collection at any time.

Assign Container Profiles to a Collection

A Collection does not directly contain containers but rather Container Profiles. By assigning one or more profiles to a Collection, you define which environments will be available to users associated with that Collection.

1. Open the desired Collection profile.

2. Click on the Container Profiles tab.

3. Click the Assign container profiles button.

Selection window for adding Container Profiles to the Collection.

4. Select one or more container profiles from the list.

5. Click Assign to confirm.

The selected Container Profiles now appear in the Collection’s Container Profiles tab, displaying their key details (name, image, provider, expiration date, etc.).

Container Profiles successfully assigned to a Collection.

• A user must be assigned to a Collection to access the Container Profiles it contains.

• Access rights and options remain those defined in the original Container Profile.

• You can add or remove Container Profiles from a Collection at any time.

Assign Users to a Collection

A Collection must be associated with users to give them access to the Container Profiles it contains. Without this step, the container profiles included in the Collection will not be available to users.

1. Open the desired Collection profile.

2. Click on the Users tab.

3. Click the Assign users button.

User selection window for adding to the Collection.

4. Select one or more users from the list.

• A user can belong to multiple Collections.

• The user’s access rights depend on the Container Profiles included in each Collection.

• Removing a user from a Collection automatically revokes their access to its Container Profiles.

Containers Created from a Collection

When users launch a container from a Collection, it appears in the Containers tab.

Summary

A Collection groups one or more container profiles and workstations, allowing them to be assigned to a set of users. This simplifies centralized management of standardized environments (e.g., “Internet Navigation”, “DevOps”, “Render Farm”, etc.).

Use Collections if you want to manage sets of environments and easily distribute them to multiple users.
