Description

The New-BrokerAppEntitlementPolicyRule cmdlet adds a new application rule to the site’s entitlement policy.

An application rule in the entitlement policy defines the users who are allowed per-session access to a machine to run one or more applications published from the rule’s desktop group.

The following constraints apply when creating an application entitlement rule for a desktop group:

  • The group’s desktop kind must be Shared
  • The group’s delivery type must be AppsOnly or DesktopsAndApps
  • Only a single application rule can apply to a given group

When a user selects an application published from a shared group, a machine is selected from the group on which to run the application. No permanent association exists between the user and the selected machine; once the session ends the association also ends.

Even though only a single application entitlement and therefore session can be defined for a group, the user can still run multiple applications from the group because the applications run within the same session.

Examples

EXAMPLE 1

Creates an application rule in the entitlement policy that entitles all members of the SUPPORT\uk-staff group to a machine for running applications published from the Customer Support desktop group.

$dg = Get-BrokerDesktopGroup 'Customer Support'
New-BrokerAppEntitlementPolicyRule 'UK Office' -DesktopGroupUid $dg.Uid -IncludedUsers support\uk-staff

Parameters

-Name

Specifies the administrative name of the new application rule. Each rule in the site’s entitlement policy must have a unique name (irrespective of whether they are desktop or application rules).

Type: String
Position: 2
Default value: None
Required: True
Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters: True
Length range: 1 to 64
Disallowed characters: /;:#.*?=<>\|[]()"'`\ and all ASCII control characters

-DesktopGroupUid

Specifies the unique ID of the desktop group to which the new application rule applies.

Type: Int32
Position: Named
Default value: None
Required: True
Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters: False

-Description

Specifies an optional description of the new application rule. The text is purely informational for the administrator, it is never visible to the end user.

Type: String
Position: Named
Default value: None
Required: False
Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters: True
Disallowed characters: All ASCII control characters

-Enabled

Specifies whether the new application rule is initially enabled. A disabled rule is ignored when evaluating the site’s entitlement policy.

Type: Boolean
Position: Named
Default value: True
Required: False
Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters: False

-ExcludedUserFilterEnabled

Specifies whether the excluded users filter is initially enabled. If the filter is disabled then any user entries in the filter are ignored when entitlement policy rules are evaluated.

Type: Boolean
Position: Named
Default value: False
Required: False
Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters: False

-ExcludedUsers

Specifies the excluded users filter of the application rule, that is, the users and groups who are explicitly denied entitlements to published applications from the desktop group.

This can be used to exclude users or groups who would otherwise gain access by groups specified in the included users filter.

Type: User[]
Position: Named
Default value: (empty list)
Required: False
Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters: False

-IncludedUserFilterEnabled

Specifies whether the included users filter is initially enabled. If the filter is disabled then any user who satisfies the requirements of the access policy is implicitly granted an entitlement to an application session by the new rule.

Users who would be implicitly granted access when the filter is disabled can still be explicitly denied access using the excluded users filter.

Type: Boolean
Position: Named
Default value: True
Required: False
Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters: False

-IncludedUsers

Specifies the included users filter of the application rule, that is, the users and groups who are granted an entitlement to an application session by the new rule.

If a user appears explicitly in the excluded users filter of the rule or is a member of a group that appears in the excluded users filter, no entitlement is granted whether or not the user appears in the included users filter.

Type: User[]
Position: Named
Default value: (empty list)
Required: False
Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters: False

-LeasingBehavior

Defines the desired connection leasing behavior applied to sessions launched using this entitlement. Possible values are:

Allowed and Disallowed.

The Allowed value indicates that connection leasing should behave normally. The Disallowed value prevents users

from launching or reconnecting to sessions using this entitlement while connection leasing is active (typically during a database outage).

Type: LeasingBehavior
Accepted values: Allowed, Disallowed
Position: Named
Default value: Allowed
Required: False
Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters: False

-SessionReconnection

Defines reconnection (roaming) behavior for sessions launched using this rule. Possible values are:

Always, DisconnectedOnly, and SameEndpointOnly.

Type: SessionReconnection
Accepted values: Always, DisconnectedOnly, SameEndpointOnly
Position: Named
Default value: Always
Required: False
Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters: False

-LoggingId

Specifies the identifier of the high level operation that this cmdlet call forms a part of. Desktop Studio and Desktop Director typically create High Level Operations. PowerShell scripts can also wrap a series of cmdlet calls in a High Level Operation by way of the Start-LogHighLevelOperation and Stop-LogHighLevelOperation cmdlets.

Type: Guid
Position: Named
Default value: None
Required: False
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
