Application policies in Workspace desktop app allow administrators to define how the application behaves across different environments and user scenarios.
Workspace desktop app must be run in administrator mode for the Policies folder to be visible in the Workspace installation folder.
Go to your policies subfolder. By default, the path is C:\Program Files\Devolutions\Workspace\Policies\en-US.
Copy the Devolutions.admx file.
Go to C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions.
Paste the Devolutions.admx file in the root of C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions.
Go to C:\Program Files\Devolutions\Workspace\Policies\en-US.
Copy the Devolutions.adml file.
Paste the Devolutions.adml file in C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions\en-US.
Open your Group Policy Editor and go to Computer Configuration – Administrative Templates – Devolutions – Workspace.
Browse the different folders for the desired policies.
Right-click the specific policy, edit it accordingly, and save.
If Workspace desktop app is open when you make this change, then you will need to restart it for the new policy to take effect.
The policies will modify the registry. The path is %Root%\SOFTWARE\Policies\Devolutions\workspace\<policy>.
