Next, configure the user policies per category as needed. You will be able to select the policies that you created in the ShareFile web application. Be sure to Save your changes.
At the Rules tab, you can adjust the Rule hierarchy. If your user is a part of more than one rule, the highest rule of the hierarchy will be applied to that user.
Note: If a user's Active Directory group changes, the next time the User Management Tool runs the user's policies may also change.
Check User Policy in Web App
You may review a user's policy membership within the ShareFile Web App. Navigate to the user management menu and access the user's profile. Their policy will be indicated as shown below.
Once removed, the user's individual settings can be adjusted.
Reassign a Removed User
To reassign a user that has been removed from policy management, return to the user page and click the Assign to Policy button.
The user will be automatically assigned to a policy based on rules set in the ShareFile User Management Tool.
Below is the list of all messages logged by the tool in the Application log. An entry must exist in the XenApp server running the tool to be able to generate the event. This key is automatically generated by Windows whenever the first event is logged. Therefore, it is required that a user with local administrator rights is used to create the key.

ProfileUnity empowers Citrix administrators with advanced user environment management functions for Virtual Apps and Desktop environments, far surpassing the capabilities of Citrix UPM and WEM. ProfileUnity provides a universal profile format that can be used across all of your Windows environments including Citrix, VMware, Microsoft AVD, Windows 365, and physical desktops. Logins can be accelerated multiple times faster than the basic included Citrix profile and workspace environment management tools. Location and context-aware policy and profile capabilities integrate with Microsoft Active Directory for maximum control of users and greater security of workspaces. With automated migration and co-existence with any version of Windows, administration is seamless while users can work unimpeded with downtime for maintenance and upgrades.
FlexApp enables Windows application administrators to enhance their environments with application layering. FlexApp outperforms Citrix App Layering with dynamic app functionality. FlexApp applications are always dynamic and elastic, enabling apps to work across OS changes without the need to be repackaged. With FlexApp, administrators can create a comprehensive application delivery strategy, leveraging the best technology required by each user groups' specific use cases. Applications can be delivered at boot time, login, by context-aware settings and filters, with Click-to-Layer technology, or even go offline with FlexApp One, an exclusive feature by Liquidware. Users experience a full-performance workspace, even as admins leverage non-persistent Citrix desktop and server pools for better management and security. Application volumes are containerized and may be made to go offline or deployed with Microsoft Intune with an innovative feature known as FlexApp One. FlexApp is integrated with ProfileUnity for controlled delivery to only the users who need the applications. FlexApp's unique session isolation in Citrix Virtual Apps can further reduce the number of master images required for production.
You can use this integrated toolset to proactively monitor and manage the entire Citrix IT delivery infrastructure to easily identify the root cause of performance issues and resolve them before end users complain.
Other info... We use home drives, through AD, and redirect the users desktops, favorites, and downloads while in citrix. We are having a lot of issues with logon time. 5 min, and I have look at some of the users home drives. They are anywhere from 500mb - 2gb.
Simplify Profiles Opens a new window is a profile-management tool you can use to force the profile to only bring what the user really needs. By pulling the user's settings from the mandatory profile, you eliminate the need to go through every single GPO. This allows you to centralize control for all profile management AND allow for your users to customize their profiles for a flexible and personal workspace. Much easier to manage your Citrix environment. There's a free trial Opens a new window available or you can request a demo Opens a new window.
Roaming - This is the most basic of profile solutions; typically saved back to a file share and persists user customisations between systems. Typically roaming profiles are agnostic of Citrix as they can be deployed to Desktops / Laptops if that's your thing etc. Downside to the Roaming Profiles is that there isn't a huge amount of profile management you can do on this; unless you script clear downs for all the clutter that accumulates through out a users session when they logoff. They are also at a higher risk of corruption; especially if multiple systems access the same set of files / folders at the same time

Profile management packages from the major desktop virtualization vendors tend to be very robust and easy to use. Windows Active Directory comes with basic user profile management by default, and it is easy to use but not very functional. More advanced tools allow for a variety of settings, including multi-environment configurations, database back ends, intelligent profiling and much more.
There are some smaller user profile management tools that can be used in conjunction with the more complete software packages listed above. Here is a sampling of options that can complement those packages:
DelProf2 by Helge Klien. This free tool is a de facto standard for user profile management with older Windows XP-based clients. (It does not work with Windows 7 or later.) DelProf2 deletes inactive user profiles, with additional filtering if necessary, and is usually set as a scheduled task on the server.
