Description

Issue:

Users running  on macOS 15 Sequoia may encounter a pop-up message requesting permission for the app to "Find devices on local networks."

               

   

Resolution

Click "Allow" on this pop-up to ensure seamless operation of Citrix Workspace.


Problem Cause

This pop-up is a standard macOS security feature. It seeks authorization for the Citrix Workspace app to discover and connect with devices within your local network. This connectivity is essential for Citrix Workspace to access resources like printers and shared file servers, which are crucial for its full functionality.

Why is this permission required?

Citrix Workspace facilitates remote access to virtual desktops and applications. To accomplish this, it must identify and interact with other devices on your network.

Choosing "Allow" vs. "Don't Allow"

  • "Allow": Choose this if you trust Citrix Workspace and want to utilize its complete feature set.

  • "Don't Allow": Select this if you have security concerns or are unsure. However, this might restrict some of the app's functionalities. You can modify this permission later in your macOS System Preferences.

Key Points to Consider:

  • Functionality: Denying network access might hinder Citrix Workspace from performing specific tasks that rely on network connectivity.

Note: You can always manage app permissions in your macOS System Preferences if you change your mind later.
