I have multiple tenants and I have AVD configured in one of the tenants and I want the other tenant users to access AVD. B2B access are given and cross tenant users are showing as member in my Source tenant. But when the cross tenant user login to Windows app it shows there is no resource or app found. I have assigned Desktop Virtualization user and Virtual Machine user login role to the cross tenant user.

B2B users showing as Members and having RBAC roles doesn't automatically make AVD resources visible. Check that the users are assigned to the Desktop Application Group (DAG), that the DAG is linked to a workspace, and that SSO is enabled. Also, are your session hosts Entra joined or hybrid joined? Cross-tenant AVD access requires Entra-joined hosts. Try signing into Windows App under the AVD resource tenant's organization rather than the user's home tenant.

    I found the solution. While signing into Windows App we need to select sign-in option and select sign in to an Organisation and need to enter domain in the format "youravdtenant.onmicrosoft.com" and then login using home tenant credentials. Thanks for the help.
