Use Workspace Control to create different configurations for an application or the user session

By setting different Workspace Control on different settings in Workspace Control, you can configure an application or the user session to behave differently depending on the Workspace Container that applies when the user logs on.

Consider the following setup based on the application Microsoft Outlook:

• Workspace Container "Laptops" is limited by Access Control criteria to the OU "\\...\Sales".
• Workspace Container "Desktops" is limited by Access Control criteria to the OU "\\...\Manufacturing".

Both OUs can access the application Microsoft Outlook, for which two E-mail Settings exist:

• Mail setup "Outlook for Sales", which is limited by Workspace Control criteria to the Workspace Container "Laptops".
• Mail setup "Outlook for Manufacturing", which is limited by Workspace Control criteria to the Workspace Container "Desktops".

This leads to the following situation:

• If a user in the OU "\\...\Sales" logs on to an Agent in the Workspace Container "Laptops", only the E-mail Settings that belong to the Workspace Container "Laptops" will be applied.
• If a user in the OU "\\...\Manufacturing" logs on to an Agent in the Workspace Container "Desktops", only the E-mail Settings that belong to the Workspace Container "Desktops" will be applied.

This allows you to configure a single Microsoft Outlook application that behaves differently, depending on the Workspace Container that applies to the user.
