Managing Horizon Client entitlements and sessions

Add-PoolEntitlement -Pool_id EngineeringLC1 -sid (Get-User -Name "Engineering_Horizon_Users").sid

• To entitle individual users, simply provide the first and last name of the user:

Add-PoolEntitlement -Pool_id EngineeringLC1 -sid (Get-User -Name "Charles Xavier").sid
