Our Omnissa Horizon (formerly VMware Horizon) integration allows you to perform management actions on a variety of Horizon objects. You can find all management actions that you can execute on Horizon entities. This includes an explanation of the execution policy, as well as how to execute a management action via the Real-Time Console.
Horizon Actions Overview
The following table provides an overview of all available management actions. The Action Name is the name as it appears in the Real-Time Console. Under Entity Type you can find the corresponding tab under which the execution context resides. For example, you can execute actions linked to the Entity Type Session on sessions shown in the Sessions tab of the Real-Time Console.
