You can use settings in the server-list section to configure certain features for specific servers. The editiable property specifies the availability of settings to change by the user.

Setting Description
editable Configures a list that specifies whether a user can modify certain settings. Generally, the policy from each server determines value of the settings.

If a setting listed in the editable property is False, that setting is locked. The user cannot change that setting. The user interface appears gray and unavailable. To make changes, the system administrator can update the setting in the policy.

If a setting is in editable property and set to true, that setting is available in the user interface. The user can make a change.

Note: On first use, the client applies any settings in the policy. After that, if the setting is editable and has been changed by the user, the client uses that setting.
enableHighResolution Configures the high resolution mode feature. The value property specifies whether the feature is enabled or disabled. The editable property specifies whether users can change the High Resolution Mode setting in Horizon Client. Valid values for both properties are true and false.
enableMultiMonitor Configures the multi-monitor feature. The value property specifies whether the feature is enabled or disabled. Valid values are true and false.

If the value property is enabled, the Display setting in Horizon Client is affected as follows:

  • If the user has already set a specific display on the device, the Display setting is set to Use Selected Display.
  • If the user has never set a specific display on the device, the Display setting is set to Use All Displays.
If the value property is disabled, the Display setting is set to Use Single Display.
Note: The priority of this setting enableMultiMonitor in server features is higher than the priority of setting enableMultiMonitor in client features, but lower than the setting display in client features.
enableWindowsKey Enables or disables the Windows key for remote desktops. The value property specifies whether the feature is enabled or disabled. The editable property specifies whether users can change the Enable Windows Key for Desktops setting in Horizon Client. Valid values for both properties are true and false.
timezoneSync Configures the time zone for remote desktops and published applications. The isSync property specifies whether to set the time zone automatically. The editable property specifies whether users can change the Set Time Zone Automatically setting in Horizon Client. Valid values for both properties are true and false. If you set isSync to false, you can set the time zone manually by specifying the timezone property.
Note: When you set the isSync property to true, the client's time zone is always consistent with the host operating system's time zone, regardless of the value of the timezone property.
resolution Configures the screen resolution. The width property specifies the screen width and the height property specifies the screen height. Both values should be less than or equal to the Chromebook window's width and height, otherwise Horizon Client uses the default resolution (the Chromebook window's width and height).
usbAllowList Specifies the USB devices that are redirected. If a device is not listed, it is blocked. Use the vid property to specify the vendor ID and the pid property to specify the product ID of each device.

When this setting is used, the equivalent agent group policy setting (Include Vid/Pid Device) is ignored.

usbBlockList Specifies the USB devices that are blocked from redirection. Use the vid property to specify the vendor ID and the pid property to specify the product ID of each device.

When this setting is used, the equivalent agent group policy setting (Exclude Vid/Pid Device) is ignored.

The usbBlockList setting has higher priority than the usbAllowList setting, which means if a device is in both lists, it is blocked.

The following JSON configuration file example shows the server settings.
