global entitlement. You can select only one scope policy.

the pod to which the user is connected.

Within pod - View looks for desktops only in the pod to which the
user is connected.
Use home site
Causes View to look for desktops in the user's home site. If the user does
not have a home site and the Entitled user must have home site option is
not selected, the site to which the user is currently connected is assumed to
be the home site.
Entitled user must have home site
Causes the global entitlement to be available only if the user has a home
site. This option is available only when the Use home site option is
selected.
Automatically clean up redundant
sessions
Logs off extra user sessions for the same entitlement.. This option is
available only for floating entitlements.
Multiple floating desktop sessions can occur when a pod that contains a
session goes offline, the user logs in again and starts another session, and
the problem pod comes back online with the original session. When
multiple sessions occur, Horizon Client prompts the user to select a
session. This option determines what happens to sessions that the user
does not select. If you do not select this option, users must manually end
their own extra sessions, either by logging off in Horizon Client or by
launching the sessions and logging them off.
Default display protocol
Specifies the default display protocol for desktops in the global
entitlement.
