How to use the App-V Server to create user-entitled connection groups

What to know before you start:

Unsupported scenarios and potential issues	Result
You cannot include user-published packages in globally entitled connection groups.	The connection group will fail.
If you publish a package globally and then create a user-published connection group in which you’ve made that package non-optional, you can still run Unpublish-AppvClientPackage <package> -global to unpublish the package, even when that package is being used in another connection group.	If any other connection groups are using that package, the package will fail in those connection groups. To avoid inadvertently unpublishing a non-optional package that is being used in another connection group, we recommend that you track the connection groups in which you’ve used a non-optional package.
