A Horizon Administrator is publishing an application which will be used by users across multiple Horizon pods and sites. Which feature of Global Entitlements are beneficial to this scenario?

A key benefit of Global Entitlements within a Horizon Cloud Pod Architecture is the abstraction of the underlying infrastructure from the end-user. When an application is published via a global entitlement, users are assigned to that entitlement rather than individual application pools on each pod. As a result, the user sees a single icon for the application in their client. When launched, the system automatically directs them to an available session on a suitable pod, providing a seamless experience across multiple sites.

B. This is the opposite of how Global Entitlements work. The goal is to entitle users once globally, not manage permissions on each pod individually.
C. The Cloud Pod Architecture, not the user, typically determines the optimal pod for application launch based on factors like user location and pod health.
D. The application must be created as a local application pool on each pod that will participate in the global entitlement before it can be included.

1. VMware Docs, Administering Cloud Pod Architecture in Horizon 8, Version 2203, "Global Entitlements". The documentation states, "A global entitlement provides the link between users and their desktops and applications, regardless of where those resources are located."

2. VMware Docs, Administering Cloud Pod Architecture in Horizon 8, Version 2203, "Creating Global Application Entitlements". This section details that a global application entitlement "can contain application pools from any of the pods in the pod federation." It further explains that users see one icon for the application.
