Citrix VDI: Changing Gradle Folder location (all users)

Excuse me - I’m a tech, not a developer - I have virtually no experience using this product, just installing/very basic configuring. We have Android Studio 3.1 installed for our Bachelor of Technology course on a VDI environment. The default gradle folder is synced to our network for each user. But as it is the root of the user’s folder, it is not able to be have limitations/rules implemented through Citrix - the folder must be in the AppData folders.
I know user’s can change this location through Settings, but I need a config change for all users, such as the disable first run through the idea.properties file.
Is this possible? If so, is it also possible that a shared repository location could also be used for all users?
