This article shows how educators can access their VMs for classes that they attend as students.
The feature will be of great use when a teaching assistant is an educator for one class and a student in another class. And now, the teaching assistant wants to view and access the student VMs from the educator's view that shows the labs they own.
-
Sign in to the Lab Services web portal: https://labs.azure.com. You see the labs that you own. These labs can be labs you created yourself or the labs that admin assigned to you as owner.
-
To access VMs for classes that you attend as a student, select the computer icon in the top-right corner. Confirm that you see VMs you can access as a student. In the following example, the user is a teaching assistant for the Python lab, but a student of the Java lab. So, the user sees the VM from the Java lab in the drop-down list. The user can start the VM and connect to it.
