Abstract
Systems and methods for determination of a policy in a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) system. The system includes a virtual machine (VM) server providing VMs, and a VDI controller connected to the VM server. When the VDI controller receives a login request by a user from a computing device, the VDI controller authenticates the login request, and controls the VM server to assign one of the VMs to the computing device. In doing so, the VDI controller may obtain user information corresponding to the user and device information corresponding to the computing device based on the login request, and retrieve VM information of the VM being assigned to the computing device. Then the VDI controller may determine, from a plurality of policies, a specific policy for the user based on the user information, the device information and the VM information to define permission states of functionalities provided by the VM.
