WUYING Workspace policies control the user experience, security, auditing, peripherals, collaboration, and AI on cloud desktops. This topic describes the policies related to peripherals.
Scenarios
You can use peripheral control policies to manage access from a cloud desktop to data on local device disks or to peripherals connected to a local device.
Access data on local device disks: You can enable local disk mapping to access data on local disks from a cloud desktop.
Access peripherals connected to a local device: You can configure redirect rules to control whether peripherals connected to a local device can be accessed from a cloud desktop and which redirection method to use. In addition to configuring redirect rules by peripheral category, you can also use peripheral blacklists and whitelists and peripheral management rules to achieve fine-grained control over peripherals.
Configurations
Configuration item | Description | Requirements or limits |
Peripheral connection guide | ||
Peripheral connection guide | Enabled by default. If disabled, the terminal no longer displays the connection guide pop-up for connected peripherals. | Only Windows cloud desktops are supported. |
Peripherals and printers | ||
Peripherals and printers shortcut | By default, the shortcut for Peripherals and Printers is displayed on the cloud desktop. Configure it to be hidden to hide the shortcut. Options include the following:
| Only Windows cloud desktops are supported. |
Local disk redirection | ||
Local disk mapping | Maps the disks of a local device to the cloud desktop. This lets you access data on the local disks from the cloud desktop. Options include the following:
| None. |
Peripheral redirection | ||
USB redirection switch | After you enable this switch, you can use USB devices connected to the local terminal from the cloud desktop. You can also control access based on blacklists and whitelists or device categories. If you disable this switch, peripherals that you configured for 'USB redirection' automatically switch to 'Disabled'. | Web clients do not support USB devices. Therefore, USB redirection is not supported. |
Camera | Select a redirect rule for each type of peripheral. Options include the following:
| Only Windows cloud desktops that use the Adaptive Streaming Protocol (ASP) are supported. Only device redirection is supported. |
Scanner | Only USB redirection is supported. | |
ADB | No limits. | |
Printer | For cloud desktops connected through a Windows client or macOS client, you can enable printer redirection to use printers connected to the local device.If you connect to the cloud desktop through a WUYING Terminal, you must set up USB redirection. For more information about how end users configure peripherals, see Configure a USB printer. | |
Serial port device | Only Windows cloud desktops and Windows clients are supported. | |
Cloud Hub service | Disabled by default. After you enable this service, Cloud Hub provides a service for connecting peripherals to the cloud. | Must be used with local management software. |
Peripheral blacklists and whitelists | ||
Peripheral blacklists and whitelists | After you configure USB redirect rules by peripheral category, you can also use peripheral blacklist and whitelist rules to configure exceptions. The peripheral blacklist and whitelist have a higher priority than the USB redirect rules configured by peripheral category.
|
|
Peripheral management rules | ||
Custom rules | You can create custom rules to manage redirect rules at the peripheral level, identified by Vendor ID (VID) and Product ID (PID). |
