Apply MSIX app attach application to Remote Desktop session with App Masking

Hi Raymond. If you want to limit access to the MSIX app Attach applications, just create a new Remote App group for the MSIX App Attach application and limit access that way with an Azure AD group. You could also create a separate Host Pool and add the MSIX App attach package to that desktop application group. Typically from an App Management standpoint, it's very rare to see App Masking and MSIX App Attach being used together on the same host pool. I'm not saying it's not possible, but very rare in my experience.
Hi Malcom,
Thanks for your comment. Understood Remote App group with specific assignment to an AD group can limit access of app attach application to a group of users. However our requirement is giving full desktop experience to users while we still can control only a few users can access specific application (e.g. 100 users have access to the Remote Desktop session but only 10 of them can launch MS Office from the Start menu of their remote desktop sessions). This can be achieved with FSLogix app masking rule. We would like to explore the capabilities of MSIX app attach to providing similar masking feature.
