Migrating Vinteo Desktop settings via group policies

Материал из База знаний VINTEO

General description

Starting with version 3.15 each time the desktop client is launched the settings are loaded from the ClientSettings file for subsequent migration to the desktop client. The ClientSettings file needs to be added to a specific folder:

  • for Windows - %appData%/VinteoDesktop
  • for MacOS - /Users/y/Library/Application Support/VinteoDesktop
  • for Linux - /home/.config/VinteoDesktop

The settings transferred in the ClientSettings file are stored in json format and are validated by the json schema at the stage of reading the file. С полным списком настроек, доступных для миграции, можно ознакомиться по ссылке. A full list of settings available for migration can be found at the link.

The ClientSettings file has two groups of settings:

  • profile - corporate profile settings
  • settings - application settings
