Configure access to workspaces

When you first enable Workspace, a default cloud.com Workspace URL to allow users to access the Workspace from their locally installed Citrix Workspace app or web browsers. You can customize this URL or add additional URLs. For more information, see Workspace URL in this article.

For information on how users can connect to Citrix Workspace, see User access options.

To configure how users authenticate to Workspace, see Configure Authentication.

When a user launches a resource, the user’s device must be able to reach the Virtual Delivery Agent (VDA). For internal users, the endpoint must connect directly to the IP address of the Virtual Delivery Agent (VDA). Remote users can gain external access to their resources if you configure external connectivity with Citrix Gateway or the Citrix Gateway service. For information on enabling remote access to workspaces, see External connectivity in this article.

To configure access settings:

  1. Go to Citrix Cloud and sign in with your credentials.
  2. Navigate to Workspace Configuration > Access.

You can add Citrix Gateways from Workspace Configuration > Access > External Connectivity or from Citrix Cloud > Resource Locations.

The External Connectivity part of the Workspace Configuration > Access page isn’t available in Citrix Virtual Apps Essentials. The Citrix Virtual Apps Essentials service uses the Citrix Gateway service, which requires no additional configuration.
