This command returns an error message if the global entitlement already exists, the scope is invalid, the
Cloud Pod Architecture feature is not initialized, or the command cannot create the global entitlement.
Options
You can specify these options when you create a global entitlement.
Table 5‑8. Options for Creating Global Entitlements
Option Description
--entitlementName
Specifies the name of the global entitlement. The name can contain
between 1 and 64 characters. The global entitlement name appears in the
list of available entitlements for the user in Horizon Client.
--scope
Specifies the scope of the global entitlement. Valid values are as follows:
n
ANY - View looks for desktops on any pod in the pod federation.
n
SITE - View looks for desktops only on pods within the same site as
the pod to which the user is connected.
n
LOCAL - View looks for desktops only in the pod to which the user is
connected.
--isDedicated
Creates a dedicated entitlement. A dedicated entitlement can contain only
dedicated desktop pools. To create a floating entitlement, use the
--isFloating option. An entitlement can be either dedicated or floating.
You cannot specify the --isDedicated option with the
--multipleSessionAutoClean option.
--isFloating
Creates a floating entitlement. A floating entitlement can contain only
floating desktop pools. To create a dedicated entitlement, specify the
--isDedicated option. An entitlement can be either floating or
dedicated.
--disabled
(Optional) Creates the global entitlement in the disabled state.
--description
(Optional) Specifies a description of the global entitlement. The
description can contain between 1 and 1024 characters.
--fromHome
(Optional) If the user has a home site, causes View to look for desktops on
the user's home site. If the user does not have a home site, View begins
searching for desktops on the site to which the user is currently
connected.
--multipleSessionAutoClean
(Optional) Logs off extra user sessions for the same entitlement. 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 specify 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.
--requireHomeSite
(Optional) Causes the global entitlement to be available only if the user
has a home site. This option is applicable only when the --fromHome
option is also specified.
--defaultProtocol
(Optional) Specifies a default display protocol for desktops in the global
entitlement. Valid values are RDP and PCOIP.
--preventProtocolOverride
(Optional) When this option is specified, users cannot override the default
display protocol for desktops in the global entitlement. If you do not
specify this option, users can override the default display protocol.
--allowReset
(Optional) When this option is specified, users can reset desktops in the
global entitlement. If you do not specify this option, users cannot reset
desktops.
