Administering View Cloud Pod Architecture

Modifying Global Entitlements
You can add and remove desktop pools, users, and groups from global entitlements. You can also delete
global entitlements and modify global entitlement attributes and policies.
Add a Pool to a Global Entitlement
You can use View Administrator to add a desktop pool to an existing global desktop entitlement, or add an
application pool to an existing global application entitlement. You can add a particular pool to only one
global entitlement.
Prerequisites
Create the desktop or application pool to add to the global entitlement. See the Setting Up Desktop and
Application Pools in View document.
Procedure
1 Log in to the View Administrator user interface for any View Connection Server instance in the pod
that contains the pool to add to the global entitlement.
2 In View Administrator, select Catalog > Global Entitlements.
3 Double-click the global entitlement.
4 On the Local Pools tab, click Add, select the desktop or application pool to add, and click Add.
You can press the Ctrl and Shift keys to select multiple pools.
NOTE Pools that are already associated with a global entitlement or that do not meet the criteria for the
global entitlement policies you selected are not displayed.
NOTE If a View administrator changes the pool-level display protocol or protocol override policy after a
desktop pool is associated with a global desktop desktop entitlement, users can receive a desktop launch
error when they select the global desktop entitlement. If a View administrator changes the pool-level virtual
machine reset policy after a desktop pool is associated with the global desktop entitlement, users can receive
an error if they try to reset the desktop.
Remove a Pool from a Global Entitlement
You can use View Administrator to remove a pool from a global entitlement.
Procedure
1 Log in to the View Administrator user interface for any View Connection Server instance in the pod
that contains the pool to remove.
2 In View Administrator, select Catalog > Global Entitlements.
3 On the Local Pools tab, select the pool to remove from the global entitlement and click Delete.
Add a User or Group to a Global Entitlement
You can use View Administrator to add a user or group to an existing global entitlement.
Procedure
1 Log in to the View Administrator user interface for any View Connection Server instance in the pod
federation.
