Client app management

Client app management (previously known as the Global App Configuration Service), is a cloud service designed to provide a single, centralized place for administrators to manage the settings of various Citrix client applications.

This service allows administrators to define and distribute configurations for a specific Store URL. It’s designed to be highly flexible and work across various environments:

  • Deployment Types

    • Cloud (Citrix Workspace)
    • On-premises (Citrix StoreFront)
  • Device Types

    • Managed
    • Unmanaged (Bring Your Own Device)
  • Operating Systems

    • Windows, Mac, HTML5, ChromeOS, Android, iOS, and Linux.

Intro

Key benefits of Client app management

Client app management offers a robust set of features to streamline administration.

Centralized Configuration

  • Manage Multiple URLs: Onboard and manage multiple StoreFront, gateway, or workspace URLs from a single cloud tenant.
  • Granular Control: For each URL, you can manage specific settings for the Citrix Workspace app, and Citrix Enterprise Browser.
  • Configuration profiles: Create specific configuration profiles for each URL. These profiles allow you to apply different settings based on contextual policies, such as:
    • User groups
    • Device Posture service rules
    • Network Location service rules

Simplified Rollouts and Management

  • Test and Production Channels: Easily switch between a test channel and a production channel for each store URL, allowing you to validate changes before a full rollout.
  • Detailed Settings View: Access a detailed view for each setting that includes descriptions, supported client versions, dependencies on other settings, and default behaviors.
  • Smart Categorization: Settings are highlighted as “recommended,” “new,” or “legacy” to guide administrators.
  • Powerful Search and Filtering: Quickly find specific settings or profiles by filtering based on:
    • Platform (for example, Windows, Mac, and so on)
    • Category of settings
    • Description of a setting
