Question
You have an Azure Virtual Desktop deployment that contains a pooled host pool named Pool1. Pool1 contains five session hosts. You plan to deploy two apps named App1 and App2. The solution must meet the following requirements:
- All the session hosts must contain both apps.
- All users must connect to a full desktop session.
- Only users in the sales department must be able to use App1.
- Only users in the research department must be able to use App2.
You need to ensure that the users in each department can see only their assigned app when they connect to Pool1. What should you use?

Why each option
The scenario requires deploying apps to all session hosts but restricting visibility and usage to specific user groups when users connect to a full desktop. FSLogix application masking is the appropriate solution for this granular control.
FSLogix application masking allows administrators to hide specific applications or components from users or user groups on a session host, ensuring only authorized users see and can launch their assigned apps while still providing a full desktop session. This meets the requirement for all hosts to contain both apps, but only specific users seeing their assigned app.
MSIX app attach delivers applications dynamically to session hosts but does not inherently provide application masking for full desktop sessions based on user groups when all apps are already present on the host.
RemoteApp application groups are used to publish individual applications, not full desktops, and would present the apps as separate icons rather than masking them within a full desktop session.
RemoteApp streaming is not a standard Azure Virtual Desktop feature or a method for application masking; RemoteApp is a technology for publishing individual applications.
