Some of the permissions for RDP sessions can be grouped in RDP profiles. These profiles appear in the Policy Keys list in the Policy Groups screen, so that they can be assigned to different Policy Realms to allow or restrict user permissions.


Currently, the following permissions can be set using RDP Profiles:

-
  Enable Clipboard: Copy-paste operations from/to RDP servers are allowed when selected.
-
  Enable Download: File download operations to/from RDP servers are allowed when selected or disallowed when unselected.
-
  Enable Upload: File upload operations to/from RDP servers are allowed when selected or disallowed when unselected.

To create a new RDP Profile:

1. Navigate to **Policy Control** > **Session Policy**.
2. Select the **RDP Profile **tab.
3. Fill out the** Name** and **Description** fields.
4. Select the permissions to be given and click the **Save** button.
5. The **RDP Profile** now appears in the** RDP Policy Data** table.

To link this Policy Group with a Device Group Realm, please refer to section Policy Realm Definition.
 

The profile rules apply whenever an RDP Profile is part of a Policy Group included in a Policy Group Realm for the connection. When it is not included, the Device Properties will apply, regardless of the users that are connecting.
