Custom Configuration Profile - DisabledApps Function

Feature RequestApp

We have a requirement to exclude a number of applications from App Catalog but still want our users to have the full benefit of the majority of applications from the catalog. However - By us wanting to exclude applications - It means we have to build a config profile from the bottom up using EnabledApps but we would much prefer to identify the 20 or so apps we don’t want users to install and hide them from the App Catalog.

Using Enabled Apps also limits us from automatically receiving new applications and would have to be manually added to the catalog.

If a DisabledApps function could be created it would be amazing!

    Did this ever get considered internally? We have had a number of installs of an application we don’t want on our estate and we have no way of blocking them via install currently without loosing the benefit of all new apps being released @Jordy Witteman @Martin van Diemen

    Hi @ArronL! We do have the ExcludeAppsUpdate key which is intended to exclude apps from updating but also hide in Catalog App:

    https://docs.appcatalog.cloud/configuration-and-deployment/configuration-profile/preference-keys-catalog-agent#excludeappsupdate

    Documentation might need some more clarification, but have you perhaps tried this key to achieve this or is something here not working?

    Thanks!
