Using VDA Hybrid for Browsers

When you launch VDA Hybrid in your default browser, you are able to manage files and launch websites, but your applications will need to launch in a Hosted environment, indicated by the gray cloud.

NOTE: For LocalZone™ users, signing into VDA Hybrid for Browsers outside of LocalZone™ will prompt a warning that you are unable to continue.

VDA Hybrid for Browsers with Limited Access

When your device goes out of compliance, for any reason, you will see a banner alerting you that you have limited access to Workplace. Websites will now be launched in a Hosted browser.

  • You can perform most File functions when your device is out of compliance, such as Rename, Move, Create new file, and Create new folder.
  • Files can be previewed in the browser, but can only be edited in the appropriate Hosted app.
  • You cannot download files.

For greater functionality, we recommend that you launch new hosted applications from Workplace for Windows and macOS and not through a Hosted browser.
