Workspaces
A workspace is the logical container that presents applications to users when they sign in. Each workspace has a type, a set of assigned applications, a policy set, and placement and scaling tags.
Workspace types
| Type | What the user gets |
|---|---|
| App Collection | A set of individual application tiles to launch. |
| Virtual Desktop | A full Windows desktop in the browser. |
| Remote Desktop | A connection to a designated remote desktop or session host. |
Workspace configuration
The create form captures the name, type, policy set, and the Published toggle. Applications and group access are added after creation on the workspace's detail-page tabs.
- Assigned applications — added on the Applications tab after create (required for App Collection). Not selected on the create form.
- Group access — granted on the Access Rights tab after create. Not selected on the create form.
- Policy set that defines the session envelope — clipboard, files, printing, limits, and recording. Defaults to the organization default if left as None.
- Published toggle (off by default) — a workspace is only visible to users once published.
- Placement and scaling tags (image tag routing) that influence which compute the session runs on.
Clicking Create only saves the workspace shell. Nothing is auto-assigned: add at least one application on the Applications tab (App Collection) and grant a group on the Access Rights tab, and make sure the workspace is Published, or no user can launch it.
Granting a workspace to users
On the workspace's Access Rights tab, click Grant Access and select a group; every member of that group then sees the workspace at login. Verify the result with the Entitlements viewer.
