For Azure Virtual Desktop to successfully implement application masking, what file extensions are used within the rules set?

The implementation of application masking in Azure Virtual Desktop utilizes specific file extensions that are crucial for defining the rules that control visibility of applications to users. The use of .fxr and .fxa files is integral to the application masking process.

The .fxr files are used to create rules for application profile management, enabling tailored user experiences by dictating which applications should be available to specific users or groups. The .fxa files complement this by defining application assignment rules, further refining the accessibility based on different criteria such as user roles or organizational needs.

Understanding these extensions and their roles in application masking is essential for effectively managing user access to applications in a virtual desktop environment. This ensures that applications are presented only to authorized users, helping to streamline the user experience while enhancing security and compliance within the Azure Virtual Desktop infrastructure.
