Setting Access Policies for Virtual Apps in Omnissa Access

After you add virtual apps to the Omnissa Access catalog, you can apply access policies to them. Access policies control user access based on criteria such as the user’s network range or device type.

Omnissa Access provides a default access policy set, which applies to all applications in your Omnissa Access catalog by default. You can also create and assign custom policies to manage access to specific applications. When a custom policy is assigned to an application, it overrides the default access policy.

Viewing and Editing the Default Access Policy

1. Navigate to the Resources > Policies page.

2. To view the default access policy, click View in the Default Policy section.

   

   If the default access policy is appropriate for the virtual app, you do not need to take any further action as it applies to the virtual app by default.

3. To edit the default access policy, click Edit.

   Caution: When you edit the default access policy, the changes apply to all applications and might affect users' ability to log on to the Intelligent Hub portal or app.

Assigning Custom Policies to Virtual Apps

If you do not want to use the default access policy for a virtual app, you can assign a custom access policy to it.

1. Navigate to the Resources > Policies page.

2. (Optional) To create a new custom policy, click Add Policy and create the policy.

3. Under Custom App Policies, click the three-dot icon next to the custom policy you want to use, and select Assign.

4. On the Assign Policy policyName page, select the Virtual Apps tab.

5. Find the virtual app to which you want to assign the policy.

   You can search for the virtual app by name or type.

6. Select the check box next to the virtual app to assign the policy to it.

   If another custom policy is already assigned to the virtual app, a warning appears. You can see which policy is currently assigned to the app in the Policy Assigned column.

   The Preview pane on the right helps you keep track of changes you make in the current session. The changes do not take effect until you click Save.

   

7. If you want to assign any other applications to the custom policy, select them.

8. Click Save.

For detailed information about how to create and configure access policies, see Managing Authentication Methods in Omnissa Access.

Viewing Virtual Apps by Access Policy Assignment

To view all the virtual apps that are assigned a custom access policy:

1. Navigate to the Resources > Policies page.

2. In the Custom App Policies section, click the policy you want to view.

   Under Definition, you can see the number of applications to which the policy applies.

3. Click the Applications link, then select the Virtual Apps tab to view the virtual apps to which the policy applies.

   Up to 50 virtual apps appear in the list. If a message appears that states that the policy applies to more than 50 virtual apps, you can go to the Resources > Virtual Apps page to see the complete list of virtual apps. When you click a virtual app, you can see the access policy that is assigned to it under Configuration - Access Policies.
