Amazon AppStream 2.0 now supports administrative control over admin consent for linking OneDrive for Business

Amazon AppStream 2.0 now allows administrator to control whether admin consent is required when users link their OneDrive for Business accounts as a persistent storage option.

The new capability simplifies the management of AppStream 2.0 persistent storage and the admin consent process. After enabling OneDrive for Business for an AppStream 2.0 stack and specifying the OneDrive domains, administrators can now configure whether admin consent is needed for each OneDrive domain. If admin consent is required, administrators must approve users’ OneDrive connections within their Azure Active Directory environment when users attempt to link their account to AppStream 2.0.

This feature is available at no additional cost in all AWS Regions where AppStream 2.0 is offered. It is supported only on AppStream stacks using single-session Windows fleets.

To get started, open the AppStream 2.0 console and create a stack. In the Enable storage step, enable OneDrive for business and configure the admin consent settings. For more details, refer to Administer OneDrive for business. You can also programmatically manage the setting using AppStream 2.0 APIs. For API details, see the CreateStack API documentation.
