A user asked why they cannot edit the "Shared Credentials" security option on a folder selection. They are not the Roles manager, and another user could edit it. The other user mentioned Agents don't use shared credentials, and typically you don't allow the shared creds globally. There is worry for giving EUC team rights to the servers and VDI workstations in the same hypervisor cluster, and the suggestion was giving read-only permission in the console only without granting the "Run Host Actions".

Error “there was an error accessing the service” on an EUC environment
A user encountered an error accessing the service in their EUC environment, even when the broker was available and accessible on port 80 and shared credentials were working. They tried port 443 but the same error occurred. It was suggested that they use the Data Collector's installed Citrix PoSh SDK to see why it was failing, but were unable to do so due to no trust between domains.
