You can configure the restricted
entitlements feature to restrict remote desktop access based on the View
Connection Server instance that users connect to when they select desktops.
With
restricted entitlements, you assign one or more tags to a View Connection
Server instance. Then, when configuring a desktop pool, you select the tags of
the View Connection Server instances that you want to be able to access the
desktop pool.
When
users log in through a tagged View Connection Server instance, they can access
only those desktop pools that have at least one matching tag or no tags.
Note:
Assign a
Tag to a View Connection Server Instance
When you assign a tag to a View
Connection Server instance, users who connect to that View Connection Server
can access only those desktop pools that have a matching tag or no tags.
Procedure

- Click the Connection Servers tab, select the View Connection Server instance, and click Edit.

Tag Matching
The
restricted entitlements feature uses tag matching to determine whether a View
Connection Server instance can access a particular desktop pool.
At the
most basic level, tag matching determines that a View Connection Server
instance with a specific tag can access a desktop pool that has the same tag.
