📺 FSLogix & AVD – Episode 2: Application Masking Explained

-

 





What is FSLogix?

FSLogix is a tool designed to manage user profiles in remote desktop and VDI environments, such as Azure Virtual Desktop. It enables control over user experiences, including application masking, which hides specific applications from certain users or groups.

Why Hide Applications?

Hiding applications with FSLogix application masking restricts access to programs based on user groups, enhancing security and simplifying user management. This is particularly valuable in RDS or VDI environments to ensure only authorized users can see and use relevant applications.

Why is FSLogix Easy to Use with AVD?

FSLogix is user-friendly with Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) because it automatically detects, compiles, and applies masking rules. Rules are created using an intuitive rule editor and stored in a designated directory (C:\Program Files\FSLogix\App Rules), streamlining the process. Its seamless integration with AVD’s virtual machines and base images simplifies rule management and testing in a consistent environment.
