The App Catalog feature allows end users to launch the applications that they are allowed to access directly from the CloudGen Access agent. If the application the end user needs is not listed, or they do not currently have access to an app, they can contact the company admin. Note: This feature works with agent version 1.6.1 and higher.
Admins can create application categories and internal/external applications for end users. Ends users can see the available applications on the CloudGen Access Application App Catalog screen.
How to Create Categories for the App Catalog
To create a new app catalog Category:
- Go to CloudGen Access Management Console. Click Console > Apps and then click Categories.
- Click the plus (+) icon.
- Add a name (E.g. Business, Engineering etc.), icon, and related notes as needed.
