Elastic Desktop Service:DesktopAssistant-related rules

Last Updated:Dec 04, 2025

In Elastic Desktop Service (EDS) Enterprise, policies define the management of user experience, security, audits, peripherals, collaboration, and DesktopAssistant. This topic describes the rules for DesktopAssistant.

Scenarios

DesktopAssistant is an on-screen tool that resides on the desktop of a cloud computer. It provides quick access to essential features, including power management, message view, and settings.

The DesktopAssistant rules control the visibility of display content and feature entries. For example, you can configure whether the Xiaoying AI Assistant entry appears in the DesktopAssistant menu.

Limits

The rules for DesktopAssistant take effect only if you access cloud computers from a windows client or macOS client of Alibaba Cloud Workspace V7.7 or later.
