Citrix Workspace managed configuration for Android

These are the managed configuration keys Citrix documents for the Citrix Workspace app on Android. They let IT preload the store so people can sign in straight away, stop them from adding other stores, and decide how sessions behave on the device. The session settings are sent as a list of name and value entries with a userOverride flag. Citrix documents more settings than the ones shown here.

Common setups

Common Citrix Workspace setups

Copy a setup into the managed configuration of a policy, then adjust the values. Each one uses only keys explained below.

Preloaded, locked store

Open your store on first launch and stop people from adding other stores.

{
  "url": "company.cloud.com",
  "displayName": "Example Ltd",
  "restrict_user_store_modification": true
}

Protect session content

Block screenshots and clipboard use and ask before sessions are closed.

  "restrictScreenshot": true,
  "appSettings": [
    {
      "name": "clipboardAccess",
      "value": "false",
      "userOverride": false
    },
    {

      "value": "true",
      "userOverride": false
    }
  ]
}

Dedicated landscape terminal

For kiosks and rugged tablets: landscape only, with the screen always on.

    {
      "name": "displayOrientationKey",

Managed configuration

Citrix Workspace managed configuration keys

Key names and value types come from the vendor’s documentation. The explanations are written by Nomid.

Key	Type	What it does	Example
Store and sign-in
`url`	Store address	The address of your Workspace store, so the app opens it without anyone typing the URL.	`company.cloud.com`
`storeType`	Choice: 1 native, 2 web	Chooses how the store loads. 1 is the default native view and 2 shows the store in a web interface.	`1`
`displayName`	Store name	The name people see for the store in the app.	`Example Ltd`
`restrict_user_store_modification`	On or off	When on, people cannot add, edit or delete stores. Existing stores are removed before your store is added.	`true`
`clientName`	Client name	Sets or overrides the client name the device reports. Citrix documents it as a free text string.	`Tablet-0042`
Security and data
`restrictScreenshot`	On or off	Stops screenshots inside the app, so session content cannot be captured.	`true`
`clipboardAccess`In appSettings	On or off	Allows cut, copy and paste in sessions. It is off by default.	`false`
`strictcertificatevalidation`In appSettings	On or off	Makes the app check server certificates more strictly before it connects.	`true`
`audioRecordingSettingsKey`In appSettings	Audio mode	Controls whether sessions can play audio and use the microphone. The default allows both.	`Play and record`
Session behavior
`appSettings`	List of name, value and userOverride entries	Carries the session settings on this page. Each entry names a setting, gives its value as text, such as "true" or "Landscape mode", and includes a userOverride flag.	`[{"name": "askBeforeExiting", "value": "true", "userOverride": false}]`
`askBeforeExiting`In appSettings	On or off	Asks for confirmation before a session is disconnected, which prevents accidental exits.	`true`
`keepscreenOnKey`In appSettings	On or off	Keeps the screen awake while the app is open, useful for dashboards and kiosks.	`false`
`displayOrientationKey`In appSettings	Choice: Automatic, Portrait mode, Landscape mode	Locks the session to portrait or landscape, or lets it follow the device.	`Landscape mode`
`sessionResolutionKey`In appSettings	Choice: Fit screen, Match server, Optimize for high resolution, Optimize for metro apps	Decides how the session resolution is chosen, for example to fit the screen or match the server.
`RTMEAccess`In appSettings	On or off	Turns on high-definition audio and video calls through the Real-Time Media Engine.	`false`
