Application masking

Application masking is part of the FSLogix portfolio that can manage access to applications, fonts, and other items based on criteria. Apps RuleEditor is used to create app masking rules, edit rules, manage user and group assignments, and test created rule sets. This is incredibly useful for controlling application access via user groups.

To get started with application masking, you need to install the FSLogixAppRuleEditorSetup.exe application, which can be downloaded with the other FSLogix products here: https://aka.ms/fslogix/download.

Rule types available

Application masking supports the following three rule types:

• Specify value rule: Used to assign a value for the specified item
• Redirection rule: Used to redirect applications or app data to a specified item
• Hiding rule: Used to redirect applications or app data to specified criteria
