Which VMware Digital Workspace product enables administrators to elevate a user's privileges so the user can install an approved application on the user's Windows system?

Question

Options

• AApp Volumes
• BWorkspace ONE Access
• CDynamic Environment Manager
• DHorizon Published Applications

• A
  11% (6)
• B
  8% (4)
• C
  2% (1)
• D
  79% (42)

Explanation

Note: The stated correct answer of D appears to be a question error. Based on VMware product documentation, C (Dynamic Environment Manager) is the correct answer for this scenario.

Dynamic Environment Manager (DEM) includes a built-in Privilege Elevation feature that lets administrators define rules granting users temporary, scoped elevation to install or run specific approved executables and MSI packages - without making them local administrators. This is precisely the described use case.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A. App Volumes delivers pre-packaged application layers to virtual desktops at runtime; it doesn't manage install-time privilege elevation.
• B. Workspace ONE Access handles identity, SSO, and conditional access - not endpoint privilege management.
• D. Horizon Published Applications streams apps from an RDS server so users consume them remotely; it doesn't install applications onto or elevate privileges on a user's local Windows machine.

Memory tip: Think of DEM as the product that manages the user's environment - including what that user is temporarily empowered to do. "Environment = Experience + Elevation."

If your study material lists D as correct, I'd recommend cross-referencing the VMware DEM documentation on Privilege Elevation or flagging it as a potential errata item, as this appears to be a mislabeled answer.
