Policy Support List

Configure Citrix policies to control user access and session environments. Citrix policies are the most efficient method of controlling connection, security, and bandwidth settings. You can create policies for specific groups of users, devices, or connection types. Each policy can contain multiple settings. You can use the following tool with Citrix policies:

  • Web Studio. If you are a Citrix administrator without permission to manage group policy, use Web Studio to create policies for your site. Policies that are created using Web Studio are stored in the site database, and the updates are pushed to the VDA either when that VDA registers with the broker or when a user connects to that VDA.
