Which type of application sets does the Application Catalog inbox exclude?

The Application Catalog inbox in CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager (EPM) is designed to categorize and manage different types of application sets effectively. Non-persistent VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) sets are often excluded from the Application Catalog because they are typically ephemeral in nature, meaning they do not remain on the system after a session ends. This characteristic makes them less relevant for inclusion in a catalog that focuses on applications that have a lasting presence within the endpoint environment.

On the other hand, persistent application sets, cloud application sets, and mobile application sets are generally retained for ongoing management and application privilege control. Persistent application sets are installed on endpoints permanently; cloud application sets include applications accessed via the internet, and mobile application sets are designed specifically for use on mobile devices. These types of applications are critical for maintaining security and management practices within an organization, which is why they are included in the Application Catalog.

This distinction highlights the unique operational requirements of non-persistent VDI environments compared to the other application set types, which are better suited for ongoing privilege management and security considerations within the EPM framework.
