How do I remove local administrator rights from WorkSpaces users?

Resolution

To turn off local administrator permissions, update the Local Administrator Setting under Directories in the WorkSpaces console. For instructions, see Manage local administrator permissions for WorkSpaces Personal.

Note: After you update the directory details to turn off local administrator access, the change applies only to newly created WorkSpaces. To apply the change to an existing WorkSpace, rebuild the WorkSpace.

To make administrative changes to a WorkSpace's operating system after removing local administrator rights, connect to the WorkSpace using a Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) client. When connecting with an RDP, you still must use a WorkSpaces user account that has administrator permissions, such as a domain administrator.
