}Access groups can organize the entities such as desktop pools in the organization. They can also be used for delegated administration.
This property is required for all the pools except for RDS desktop pool, which will be inherited from the corresponding Farm.
Applicable To: Dedicated manual and automated desktop pools with manual user assignment with default value as false.
Whether assignment of multiple users to a single machine is allowed.
If this is true then automatic_user_assignment should be false.
Applicable To: RDS desktop pools with default value as false.
Indicates whether multiple sessions are allowed per user for this pool.For other desktop pools, allow_multiple_sessions_per_user from session_settings will be applicable.
Automatic assignment of a user the first time they access the machine.
This property is applicable if user_assignment is set to DEDICATED with default value as true.
Name of the category folder in the user's OS containing a shortcut to the desktop pool.Will be unset if the desktop does not belong to a category.This property defines valid folder names with a max length of 64 characters and up to 4 subdirectory levels.The subdirectories can be specified using a backslash, e.g. (dir1\dir2\dir3\dir4). Folder names can't start orend with a backslash nor can there be 2 or more backslashes together. Combinations such as(\dir1, dir1\dir2, dir1\\dir2, dir1\\\dir2) are invalid. The windows reserved keywords(CON, PRN, NUL, AUX, COM1 - COM9, LPT1 - LPT9 etc.) are not allowed in subdirectory names.
Indicates whether this desktop is assigned to a workspace in Horizon Cloud Services.
This can be set to true from cloud session only and only when cloud_managed is set to true.
Default value is false.
Applicable To: RDS Desktop Pools with default value as false.
Indicates whether this desktop is managed by Horizon Cloud Services. This can be set to false only when cloud_assigned is set to false.
Default value is false.
This property cannot be set to true, if any of the conditions are satisfied:
user is provided.
enabled is false.
supported_session_type is not DESKTOP.
global_entitlement is set.
user_assignment is DEDICATED and automatic_user_assignment is false.
Local entitlements are configured.
Any of the machines in the pool have users assigned.
cs_restriction_tags is not set.
Desktop pool type is MANUAL.
List of Connection server restriction tags to which the access to the desktop pool is restricted. If this property is not set it indicates that desktop pool can be accessed from any connection server.
Description of the desktop pool.
Applicable To: Dedicated desktop pools with default value as false.
Indicates whether users should see the hostname of the machine assigned to them instead of display_name when they connect using Horizon Client. If no machine is assigned to the user then "display_name (No machine assigned)" will be displayed in the client.
Applicable To: Dedicated desktop pools with default value as false.
If no machine is assigned to the user then "displayName No machine assigned)" will be displayed in the Horizon client. If both display_assigned_machine_name and this property is set to true, machine alias of the assigned machine is displayed if the user has machine alias set. Otherwise hostname will be displayed.
Display name of the desktop pool. If the display name is left blank, it defaults to name.
display_protocol_settings
Client restrictions to be applied to the desktop pool.
Default value is false.
Applicable To: Automated desktop pools with default value as true.
Indicates whether provisioning is enabled.
Indicates whether the desktop pool is enabled for brokering. Default value is true.
Applicable To: RDS Desktop pool.
Farm is needed to create RDS desktop pool. This is required for RDS desktop pools.This Farm must not already be associated with another RDS desktop.
Applicable To: Manual desktop pools.
List of machines to add to this desktop pool during creation.
Name of the desktop pool. This property must contain only alphanumerics, underscores and dashes.

- PATTERN: Naming pattern.
Network interface card settings for machines provisioned for this desktop.
pattern_naming_settings

- DESKTOP: Only desktop sessions are supported.
- APPLICATION: Only application sessions are supported.
- DESKTOP_AND_APPLICATION: Both desktop and application sessions are supported.
Locations of the category folder in the user's OS containing a shortcut to the desktop pool. This is required if the category_folder_name is set.
Applicable To: Manual and Automated desktop pools.
Source of the Machines in this Desktop Pool. This is required for Manual and Automated desktop pools.
- INSTANT_CLONE: The Desktop Pool uses instant clone technology for provisioning the machines. Applicable for AUTOMATED type desktop pools.
- LINKED_CLONE: The Desktop Pool uses linked clone technology for provisioning the machines. Applicable for AUTOMATED type desktop pools.
- VIRTUAL_CENTER: The Desktop Pool uses Virtual Center as source for provisioning the machines. Applicable for AUTOMATED and MANUAL type desktop pools.
- RDS: The Desktop Pool is backed by Farm. The Farm used in this Desktop Pool can be of any Source.
