AWS Workspace Multiple User access

0

Hi, I am currently working on a college project for a company along with my batchmates. Our team has been provided client access to AWS workspace but has been given only one user id. How can we ensure that each member of the team can work on the code simultaneously while ensuring that this doesn't affect the work of the other individual? Is there any way to duplicate the contents of this workspace and add users? Or can I add different users to the same workspace? Right now the issue is that since there is only 1 login credential, only 1 person can access the workspace at a time. Please suggest alternatives. Can we do something about this ourselves or do we need to talk to the company which has admin credentials?

Workspaces is a single-user service so it probably isn't suitable for your project. Have you considered Cloud9 - it allows for multiple users and is designed specifically as a developer environment.

    Can't the client company which gave me the login credentials duplicate the contents and create another workspace? Is this expensive? They seem to prefer the workspace as some of their internal team members also use the same. So any solution involving a workspace would be easier.

    You can have multiple Workspaces; each has a different user (and therefore login) assigned to it. But then you will need some sort of tool to allow code sharing and collaboration.

Each WorkSpace is assigned to a single user and cannot be shared by multiple users. By default, only one WorkSpace per user per directory is allowed.[+] https://docs.aws.amazon.com/workspaces/latest/adminguide/administer-workspace-users.html

For your use-case, I would suggest like creating an EC2 and RDP access with RDP license you have 2 license free with AWS. the license for the Windows Server operating system allows two simultaneous remote connections for administrative purposes https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/WindowsGuide/connecting_to_windows_instance.html

You can use the collaboration feature provided by the AWS Workspace. AWS Workspaces allows multiple users to access the same environment with their individual credentials. You will have to check with your company if they provided the client access to AWS workspace if they have enabled this feature or not.

You will need to talk your company which has admin credentials to add new users or make any changes to the AWS Workspace.
