How to configure access to packages by using the Management Console
Applies to:
- Windows 10
- Windows 11
Before you deploy an App-V virtualized package, you must configure the Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) security groups that will be allowed to access and run the applications. The security groups may contain computers or users. Entitling a package to a computer group publishes the package globally to all computers in the group.
Use the following procedure to configure access to virtualized packages.
Grant access to an App-V package
Find the package you want to configure:
Open the App-V Management console.
Right-click the package to be configured, then select Edit active directory access to display the AD Access page. Alternatively, select the package and select Edit in the AD Access pane.
Provision a security group for the package:
Go to the Find valid Active Directory names and grant access page.
Using the format mydomain \ groupname, enter the name or part of the name of an Active Directory group object, then select Check.
Note
Ensure that you provide an associated domain name for the group that you are searching for.
Grant access to the package by first selecting the desired group, then selecting Grant Access. The newly added group is displayed in the AD entities with access pane.
Select Close to accept the default configuration settings and close the AD Access page.
To customize configurations for a specific group, select the Assigned configurations drop-down menu, then select Custom. To make changes to your custom configurations, select Edit. After you grant access, select Close.
Remove access to an App-V package
Find the package you want to configure:
Open the App-V Management console.
To display the AD Access page, right-click the package to be configured, then select Edit active directory access. Alternatively, select the package, then select Edit in the AD Access pane.
Select the group you want to remove, then select Delete.
Select Close.
