Automatisk valg av klientsertifikater for disse nettstedene (AutoSelectCertificateForUrls)
Supported Versions: Microsoft Edge on Windows and Mac since version 77 or later
Description
Specify a list of sites, based on URL patterns, for which Microsoft Edge should automatically select a client certificate, if the site requests one.
The value must be an array of stringified JSON dictionaries. The form for each dictionary is { "pattern": "$URL_PATTERN", "filter" : $FILTER }, where $URL_PATTERN is a content setting pattern. $FILTER restricts from which client certificates the browser can automatically select. Independent of the filter, only certificates that match the server's certificate request can be used. For example, if $FILTER has the form { "ISSUER": { "CN": "$ISSUER_CN" } }, additionally only client certificates that are issued by a certificate with the CommonName $ISSUER_CN can be used. If $FILTER contains an "ISSUER" and a "SUBJECT" section, a client certificate must meet both conditions to be selected. If $FILTER specifies an organization ("O"), a certificate must have at least one organization that matches the specified value. If $FILTER specifies an organization unit ("OU"), a certificate must have at least one organization unit which matches the specified value. If $FILTER is the empty dictionary {}, the selection of client certificates isn't additionally restricted.
If you don't configure this policy, auto-selection isn't done for any site.

Limit cookies from specific websites to the current session (CookiesSessionOnlyForUrls)
Supported Versions: Microsoft Edge on Windows and Mac since version 77 or later
Description
Cookies created by websites that match a URL pattern you define are deleted when the session ends (when the window closes).
Cookies created by websites that don't match the pattern are controlled by the 'DefaultCookiesSetting' policy (if set) or by the user's personal configuration. This is also the default behavior if you don't configure this policy.
If Microsoft Edge is running in background mode, the session might not close when the last window is closed, meaning the cookies won't be cleared when the window closes. See the 'BackgroundModeEnabled' policy for information about configuring what happens when Microsoft Edge runs in background mode.
You can also use the 'CookiesAllowedForUrls' and 'CookiesBlockedForUrls' policies to control which websites can create cookies.
Note there cannot be conflicting URL patterns set between these three policies:
- CookiesBlockedForUrls
- CookiesAllowedForUrls
- CookiesSesssionOnlyForUrls
If you set the 'RestoreOnStartup' policy to restore URLs from previous sessions, this policy is ignored, and cookies are stored permanently for those sites.

Configure cookies (DefaultCookiesSetting)
Supported Versions: Microsoft Edge on Windows and Mac since version 77 or later
Description
Control whether websites can create cookies on the user's device. This policy is all or nothing - you can let all websites create cookies, or no websites create cookies. You can't use this policy to enable cookies from specific websites.
Set the policy to 'SessionOnly' (4) to clear cookies when the session closes. If Microsoft Edge is running in background mode, the session might not close when the last window is closed, meaning the cookies won't be cleared when the window closes. See 'BackgroundModeEnabled' policy for information about configuring what happens when Microsoft Edge runs in background mode.
If you don't configure this policy, the default 'AllowCookies' (1) is used, and users can change this setting in Microsoft Edge Settings. (If you don't want users to be able to change this setting, set the policy.)
* 1 = Let all sites create cookies
* 2 = Don't let any site create cookies
* 4 = Keep cookies for the duration of the session

Standard Adobe Flash-innstilling (DefaultPluginsSetting)
Supported Versions: Microsoft Edge on Windows and Mac since version 77 or later
Description
Determines whether websites that aren't covered by 'PluginsAllowedForUrls' or 'PluginsBlockedForUrls' can automatically run the Adobe Flash plug-in. You can select 'BlockPlugins' (2) to block Adobe Flash on all sites, or you can select 'ClickToPlay' (3) to let Adobe Flash run but require the user to click the placeholder to start it. In any case, the 'PluginsAllowedForUrls' and 'PluginsBlockedForUrls' policies take precedence over 'DefaultPluginsSetting'.
Automatic playback is only allowed for domains explicitly listed in the 'PluginsAllowedForUrls' policy. If you want to enable automatic playback for all sites, consider adding http://* and https://* to this list.
If you don't configure this policy, the user can change this setting manually.
* 2 = Block the Adobe Flash plug-in
* 3 = Click to play
The former '1' option set allow-all, but this functionality is now only handled by the 'PluginsAllowedForUrls' policy. Existing policies using '1' will operate in Click-to-play mode.

Grant access to specific sites to connect to specific USB devices. (WebUsbAllowDevicesForUrls)
Supported Versions: Microsoft Edge on Windows and Mac since version 77 or later
Description
Define a list of sites that can automatically access a USB device with the given vendor and product IDs. Each item in the list must contain both devices and URLs in order for the policy to be valid. Each device definition contains a vendor ID and product ID field. Any ID that's not defined is treated as a wildcard with one exception: you can't specify a product ID without a vendor ID. If you do, the policy isn't valid and is ignored.
The USB permission model uses the URL of the requesting site ("requesting URL") and the URL of the top-level frame site ("embedding URL") to grant access for the requesting URL to the USB device. The requesting URL may be different than the embedding URL when the requesting site is loaded in an iframe. Because of this, the "urls" field can contain up to two URL strings, separated by a comma, to specify the requesting and embedding URL respectively. If only one URL is specified, then access to the corresponding USB devices is granted when the requesting site's URL matches this URL, regardless of embedding status. The URLs in "urls" must be valid URLs, otherwise the policy is ignored.
If you don't configure this policy, the global default value from the 'DefaultWebUsbGuardSetting' policy (if set) or the user's personal configuration is used for all sites.
URL patterns in this policy shouldn't clash with those configured in the 'WebUsbBlockedForUrls' policy. If there is a clash, this policy takes precedence over 'WebUsbBlockedForUrls' and 'WebUsbAskForUrls' policies.
Values for this policy and the DeviceWebUsbAllowDevicesForUrls policy are merged together.

The value is a list of strings, each of which should be one of the following: "extension", "theme", "user_script", and "hosted_app". See the Microsoft Edge extensions documentation for more information on these types.
Note that this policy also affects extensions to be force-installed by using 'ExtensionInstallForcelist' policy.
If you enable this policy, only extensions that match a type in the list are installed.
If you don't configure this policy, no restrictions on the acceptable extension types are enforced.

Control which extensions cannot be installed (ExtensionInstallBlocklist)
Supported Versions: Microsoft Edge on Windows and Mac since version 77 or later
Description
List specific extensions that users can NOT install in Microsoft Edge. When you deploy this policy, any extensions on this list that were previously installed will be disabled, and the user won't be able to enable them. If you remove an item from the list of blocked extensions, that extension is automatically re-enabled anywhere it was previously installed.
Use "*" to block all extensions that aren't explicitly listed in the allow list.
If you don't configure this policy, users can install any extension in Microsoft Edge.

Control which extensions are installed silently (ExtensionInstallForcelist)
Supported Versions: Microsoft Edge on Windows and Mac since version 77 or later
Description
Specifies extensions that are installed silently, without user interaction, and that the users can't uninstall or disable ("force-installed"). All permissions requested by the extensions are granted implicitly, without user interaction, including any additional permissions requested by future versions of the extension. Furthermore, permissions are granted for the enterprise.deviceAttributes and enterprise.platformKeys extension APIs. (These two APIs are only available to extensions that are force-installed.)
This policy takes precedence over a potentially conflicting 'ExtensionInstallBlocklist' policy. When you take an extension off of the force-installed list it's automatically uninstalled by Microsoft Edge.
For Windows devices that aren't joined to a Microsoft Active Directory domain, forced installation is limited to extensions available in the Microsoft Store.
Note that users can modify the source code of any extension by using Developer Tools, potentially rendering the extension dysfunctional. If this is a concern, set the 'DeveloperToolsAvailability' policy.
Use the following format to add an extension to the list:
[extensionID];[updateURL]
- extensionID - the 32-letter string found on edge://extensions when in developer mode.
- updateURL (optional) is the address of the Update Manifest XML document for the app or extension, as described at https://docs.microsoft.com/Placeholder07A. If you don't set the updateURL, the Microsoft Store update URL is used (currently https://extensionwebstorebase.edgesv.net/v1/crx). Note that the update URL set in this policy is only used for the initial installation; subsequent updates of the extension use the update URL indicated in the extension's manifest.
For example, gggmmkjegpiggikcnhidnjjhmicpibll;https://extensionwebstorebase.edgesv.net/v1/crx installs the Microsoft Online app from the Microsoft Store "update" URL. For more information about hosting extensions, see: https://docs.microsoft.com//Placeholder03B.
If you don't configure this policy, no extensions are installed automatically, and users can uninstall any extension in Microsoft Edge.
Note that this policy doesn't apply to InPrivate mode.

Configure extension and user script install sources (ExtensionInstallSources)
Supported Versions: Microsoft Edge on Windows and Mac since version 77 or later
Description
Define URLs that can install extensions and themes.
By default, users have to download a *.crx file for each extension or script they want to install, and then drag it onto the Microsoft Edge settings page. This policy lets specific URLs use install the extension or script for the user.
Each item in this list is an extension-style match pattern (see https://docs.microsoft.com//Placeholder04). Users can easily install items from any URL that matches an item in this list. Both the location of the *.crx file and the page where the download is started from (in other words, the referrer) must be allowed by these patterns.
The 'ExtensionInstallBlocklist' policy takes precedence over this policy. Any extensions that's on the block list won't be installed, even if it comes from a site on this list.

Configure extension management settings (ExtensionSettings)
Supported Versions: Microsoft Edge on Windows and Mac since version 77 or later
Description
Configures extension management settings for Microsoft Edge.
This policy controls multiple settings, including settings controlled by any existing extension-related policies. This policy overrides any legacy policies if both are set.
This policy maps an extension ID or an update URL to its configuration. With an extension ID, the configuration is applied only to the specified extension. Set a default configuration for the special ID "*", to apply to all extensions that aren't specifically listed in this policy. With an update URL, the configuration is applied to all extensions with the exact update URL stated in manifest of this extension, as described at https://docs.microsoft.com/Placeholder07A.
For a full description of possible settings and structure of this policy go to https://docs.microsoft.com/Placeholder07B.

Regler for valg av standardskriver (DefaultPrinterSelection)
Supported Versions: Microsoft Edge on Windows and Mac since version 77 or later
Description
Overrides Microsoft Edge default printer selection rules. This policy determines the rules for selecting the default printer in Microsoft Edge, which happens the first time a user tries to print a page.
When this policy is set, Microsoft Edge tries to find a printer that matches all of the specified attributes and uses it as default printer. If there are multiple printers that meet the criteria, the first printer that matches is used.
If you don't configure this policy or no matching printers are found within the timeout, the printer defaults to the built-in PDF printer or no printer, if the PDF printer isn't available.
The value is parsed as a JSON object, conforming to the following schema: { "type": "object", "properties": { "idPattern": { "description": "Regular expression to match printer id.", "type": "string" }, "namePattern": { "description": "Regular expression to match printer display name.", "type": "string" } } }
Omitting a field means all values match; for example, if you don't specify connectivity Print Preview starts discovering all kinds of local printers. Regular expression patterns must follow the JavaScript RegExp syntax and matches are case sensitive.

Supported Versions: Microsoft Edge on Windows and Mac since version 77 or later
Description
Specify how Microsoft Edge behaves when it starts.
If you want a new tab to always open on startup, choose 'Open new tab' (5).

Gjør det mulig å slette nettleser- og nedlastingslogg (AllowDeletingBrowserHistory)
Supported Versions: Microsoft Edge on Windows and Mac since version 77 or later
Description
Enables deleting browser history and download history and prevents users from changing this setting.
Note that even with this policy is disabled, the browsing and download history aren't guaranteed to be retained: users can edit or delete the history database files directly, and the browser itself may remove (based on expiration period) or archive any or all history items at any time.
If you enable this policy or don't configure it, users can delete the browsing and download history.
If you disable this policy, users can't delete browsing and download history.
If you enable this policy, don't enable the 'Clear browsing data when Microsoft Edge closes' policy, because they both deal with deleting data. If you enable both, the 'Clear browsing data when Microsoft Edge closes' policy takes precedence and deletes all data when Microsoft Edge closes, regardless of how this policy is configured.

Browser sign-in settings (BrowserSignin)
Supported Versions: Microsoft Edge on Windows and Mac since version 77 or later
Description
Specify whether a user can sign into Microsoft Edge with their account and use account-related services like sync and single sign on. To control the availability of sync, use the 'SyncDisabled' policy.
If you set this policy to 'Disable browser sign-in' (0), users can't sign into the browser and use account-based services. In this case users can't use browser-level features like sync - they're unavailable. If a user was signed in when you set the policy to "Disabled," they'll be signed out the next time they run Microsoft Edge, but their local profile data (like favorites and passwords) are preserved. The user can still sign into and use Microsoft web properties like bing.com and Office.com.
If you set this policy to 'Enable browser sign-in' (1), users can sign into the browser. Signing in to the browser means the user's account information is kept by the browser, but it doesn't mean that sync is turned on by default; the user must separately opt-in to use this feature. Enabling this policy prevents users from turning off the setting that allows browser sign-in.
If you set this policy to 'Force browser sign-in" (2) users have to sign into a profile to use the browser. This ensures that the policies associated with a managed account are applied and enforced. By default, this turns on sync for the account, unless sync is disabled by the domain admin or with the 'SyncDisabled' policy. The default value of 'BrowserGuestModeEnabled' policy is set to false. Note that existing unsigned profiles will be locked and inaccessible after you enable this policy. For more information, see help center article: https://docs.microsoft.com/Placeholder12.
If you don't configure this policy users can decide if they want to enable the browser sign-in option and use it as they see fit.
* 0 = Disable browser sign-in
* 1 = Enable browser sign-in

Deaktiver tvungen sertifikatåpenhet for en liste med subjectPublicKeyInfo-hasher (CertificateTransparencyEnforcementDisabledForCas)
Supported Versions: Microsoft Edge on Windows and Mac since version 77 or later
Description
Disables enforcement of Certificate Transparency requirements for a list of subjectPublicKeyInfo hashes.
This policy lets you disable Certificate Transparency disclosure requirements for certificate chains that contain certificates with one of the specified subjectPublicKeyInfo hashes. This allows certificates that would otherwise be untrusted because they were not properly publicly disclosed to still be used for Enterprise hosts.
To disable Certificate Transparency enforcement when this policy is set, one of the following sets of conditions must be met:
1. The hash is of the server certificate's subjectPublicKeyInfo.
2. The hash is of a subjectPublicKeyInfo that appears in a CA certificate in the certificate chain, that CA certificate is constrained via the X.509v3 nameConstraints extension, one or more directoryName nameConstraints are present in the permittedSubtrees, and the directoryName contains an organizationName attribute.
3. The hash is of a subjectPublicKeyInfo that appears in a CA certificate in the certificate chain, the CA certificate has one or more organizationName attributes in the certificate Subject, and the server's certificate contains the same number of organizationName attributes, in the same order, and with byte-for-byte identical values.
A subjectPublicKeyInfo hash is specified by concatenating the hash algorithm name, the "/" character, and the Base64 encoding of that hash algorithm applied to the DER-encoded subjectPublicKeyInfo of the specified certificate. This Base64 encoding is the same format as an SPKI Fingerprint, as defined in RFC 7469, Section 2.4. Unrecognized hash algorithms are ignored. The only supported hash algorithm at this time is "sha256".
If you disable this policy or don't configure it, any certificate that's required to be disclosed via Certificate Transparency will be treated as untrusted if it's not disclosed according to the Certificate Transparency policy.

Disable Certificate Transparency enforcement for a list of legacy certificate authorities (CertificateTransparencyEnforcementDisabledForLegacyCas)
Supported Versions: Microsoft Edge on Windows and Mac since version 77 or later
Description
Disables enforcing Certificate Transparency requirements for a list of legacy certificate authorities (Cas).
This policy lets you disable Certificate Transparency disclosure requirements for certificate chains that contain certificates with one of the specified subjectPublicKeyInfo hashes. This allows certificates that would otherwise be untrusted because they were not properly publicly disclosed, continue to be used for enterprise hosts.
In order for Certificate Transparency enforcement to be disabled, you must set the hash to a subjectPublicKeyInfo appearing in a CA certificate that is recognized as a legacy certificate authority (CA). A legacy CA is a CA that has been publicly trusted by default by one or more operating systems supported by Microsoft Edge.
You specify a subjectPublicKeyInfo hash by concatenating the hash algorithm name, the "/" character, and the Base64 encoding of that hash algorithm applied to the DER-encoded subjectPublicKeyInfo of the specified certificate. This Base64 encoding is the same format as an SPKI Fingerprint, as defined in RFC 7469, Section 2.4. Unrecognized hash algorithms are ignored. The only supported hash algorithm at this time is "sha256".
If you don't configure this policy, any certificate that's required to be disclosed via Certificate Transparency will be treated as untrusted if it isn't disclosed according to the Certificate Transparency policy.

Disable Certificate Transparency enforcement for specific URLs (CertificateTransparencyEnforcementDisabledForUrls)
Supported Versions: Microsoft Edge on Windows and Mac since version 77 or later
Description
Disables enforcing Certificate Transparency requirements for the listed URLs.
This policy lets you not disclose certificates for the hostnames in the specified URLs via Certificate Transparency. This lets you use certificates that would otherwise be untrusted, because they weren't properly publicly disclosed, but it makes it harder to detect mis-issued certificates for those hosts.
Form your URL pattern according to https://docs.microsoft.com//Placeholder01. Because certificates are valid for a given hostname, independent of the scheme, port, or path, only the hostname part of the URL is considered. Wildcard hosts are not supported.
If you don't configure this policy, any certificate that should be disclosed via Certificate Transparency is treated as untrusted if it's not disclosed.

Allow HTTP/2 connection coalescing for these hosts even when client certificates are used (CoalesceH2ConnectionsWithClientCertificatesForHosts)
This is a future policy
Description
If you enable this policy, coalescing of HTTP/2 connections is allowed even when client certificates are being used.
If you leave this policy unconfigured, HTTP/2 connection coalescing isn't allowed on connections that are using client certificates. This is the default behavior.
In order to coalesce, both the host name of the potential new connection and the host name of an existing connection must match one or more patterns prescribed by this policy. This policy specifies a list of hosts, using the URLBlocklist filter format: "contoso.com" matches "contoso.com" and all subdomains (for example, "sub.contoso.com"), while ".contoso.net" matches exactly "contoso.net".
Coalescing requests to different hosts over connections that use client certificates can trigger security and privacy issues, as the ambient authority will be conveyed to all requests, even if the user did not explicitly approve this. Therefore, this policy is temporary and will be removed in a future release. For more info, see https://crbug.com/855690.

Set Microsoft Edge as default browser (DefaultBrowserSettingEnabled)
Supported Versions: Microsoft Edge on Windows 7 and Mac since version 77 or later
Description
Configures the default browser checks in Microsoft Edge and prevents users from changing them.
If you enable this policy, Microsoft Edge always checks on startup whether it is the default browser and automatically registers itself, if possible.
If you disable this policy, Microsoft Edge never checks and disables user controls for setting this option.
If you don't configure this policy, Microsoft Edge lets the user control whether it's the default browser and whether to show user notifications when it isn't.
Note for Windows administrators: This policy only works for PCs running Windows 7. For later versions of Windows, you have to deploy a "default application associations" file that makes Microsoft Edge the handler for the https and http protocols (and, optionally, the ftp protocol and file formats such as .html, .htm, .pdf, .svg, .webp). See https://docs.microsoft.com//Placeholder02 for more information.

Description
Prevent web pages from accessing the graphics processing unit (GPU). Specifically, web pages can't access the WebGL API and plug-ins can't use the Pepper 3D API.
If you don't configure or disable this policy, it potentially allows web pages to use the WebGL API and plug-ins to use the Pepper 3D API. Microsoft Edge might, by default, still require command line arguments to be passed in order to use these APIs.
If 'HardwareAccelerationModeEnabled' policy is set to false, the setting for 'Disable3DAPIs' policy is ignored - it's the equivalent of setting 'Disable3DAPIs' policy to true.

To avoid data loss or other unexpected errors, don't configure this policy to a volume's root directory or to a directory used for other purposes, because Microsoft Edge manages its contents.
See https://docs.microsoft.com/Placeholder08 for a list of variables you can use when specifying directories and paths.

Description
Configures the size of the cache, in bytes, used to store files on the disk.
If you enable this policy, Microsoft Edge uses the provided cache size regardless of whether the user has specified the '--disk-cache-size' flag. The value specified in this policy isn't a hard boundary but rather a suggestion to the caching system; any value below a few megabytes is too small and will be rounded up to a reasonable minimum.
If you set the value of this policy to 0, the default cache size is used, and users can't change it.
If you don't configure this policy, the default size is used, but users can override it with the '--disk-cache-size' flag.

Tillat begrensninger for nedlastinger (DownloadRestrictions)
Supported Versions: Microsoft Edge on Windows and Mac since version 77 or later
Description
Configures the type of downloads that Microsoft Edge completely blocks, without letting users override the security decision.
Set 'Block dangerous downloads' (1) to allow all downloads except for those that carry Microsoft Defender SmartScreen warnings.

Set 'Block all downloads' (3) to block all downloads.
If you don't configure this policy or set the 'No special restrictions' (0) option, the downloads go through the usual security restrictions based on Microsoft Defender SmartScreen analysis results.
Note that these restrictions apply to downloads from web page content, as well as the 'download link...' context menu option. These restrictions don't apply to saving or downloading the currently displayed page, nor do they apply to the Save as PDF option from the printing options.
See https://docs.microsoft.com/Placeholder09 for more info on Microsoft Defender SmartScreen.

Supported Versions: Microsoft Edge on Windows and Mac since version 77 or later
Description
Specify a list of deprecated web platform features to temporarily re-enable.
This policy lets you re-enable deprecated web platform features for a limited time. Features are identified by a string tag.

While the policy itself is supported on the above platforms, the feature it's enabling might not be available on all of those platforms. Not all deprecated Web Platform features can be re-enabled. Only those explicitly listed below can be re-enabled, and only for a limited period of time, which differs per feature. You can review the intent behind the Web Platform feature changes at https://bit.ly/blinkintents.
The general format of the string tag is [DeprecatedFeatureName]_EffectiveUntil[yyyymmdd].

Enable Domain Actions Download from Microsoft (EnableDomainActionsDownload)
Supported Versions: Microsoft Edge on Windows and Mac since version 77 or later
Description
In Microsoft Edge, Domain Actions represent a series of compatibility features that help the browser work correctly on the web.
Microsoft keeps a list of actions to take on certain domains for compatibility reasons. For example, the browser may override the User Agent string on a website if that website is broken due to the new User Agent string on Microsoft Edge. Each of these actions is intended to be temporary while Microsoft tries to resolve the issue with the site owner.
When the browser starts up and then periodically afterwards, the browser will contact the Microsoft server that contains the most up to date list of compatibility actions to perform. This list is saved locally after it is first retrieved so that subsequent requests will only update the list if the server's copy has changed.
If you enable this policy, the list of Domain Actions will continue to be downloaded from a Microsoft server.
If you disable this policy, the list of Domain Actions will no longer be downloaded from a Microsoft server.
If you don't configure this policy, the list of Domain Actions will continue to be downloaded from a Microsoft server.

Enable use of ephemeral profiles (ForceEphemeralProfiles)
Supported Versions: Microsoft Edge on Windows and Mac since version 77 or later
Description
Controls whether user profiles are switched to ephemeral mode. An ephemeral profile is created when a session begins, is deleted when the session ends, and is associated with the user's original profile.
If you enable this policy, profiles run in ephemeral mode. This lets users work from their own devices without saving browsing data to those devices. If you enable this policy as an OS policy (by using GPO on Windows, for example), it applies to every profile on the system.
If you disable this policy or don't configure it, users get their regular profiles when they sign in to the browser.
In ephemeral mode, profile data is saved on disk only for the length of the user session. Features like browser history, extensions and their data, web data like cookies, and web databases aren't saved after the browser is closed. This doesn't prevent a user from manually downloading any data to disk, or from saving pages or printing them. If the user has enabled sync, all data is preserved in their sync accounts just like with regular profiles. Users can also use InPrivate browsing in ephemeral mode unless you explicitly disable this.

Allow importing of search engine settings (ImportSearchEngine)
Supported Versions: Microsoft Edge on Windows and Mac since version 77 or later
Description
Allows users to import search engine settings from another browser into Microsoft Edge.
If you enable, this policy, the option to import search engine settings is automatically selected.
If you disable this policy, search engine settings aren't imported at first run, and users can’t import them manually.
If you don’t configure this policy, search engine settings are imported at first run, and users can choose whether to import this data manually during later browsing sessions.
You can set this policy as a recommendation. This means that Microsoft Edge imports search engine settings on first run, but users can select or clear the **search engine** option during manual import.
**Note**: This policy currently manages importing from Internet Explorer (on Windows 7, 8, and 10).

Supported Versions: Microsoft Edge on Windows and Mac since version 77 or later
Description
Specify origins to run in isolation, in their own process.
This policy also isolates origins named by subdomains - for example, specifying https://contoso.com/ will cause https://foo.contoso.com/ to be isolated as part of the https://contoso.com/ site.
If the policy is enabled, each of the named origins in a comma-separated list will run in its own process.
If you disable this policy, then both the 'IsolateOrigins' and 'SitePerProcess' features are disabled. Users can still enable 'IsolateOrigins' policy manually, via command line flags.
If you don't configure the policy, the user can change this setting.

Configure favorites (ManagedFavorites)
Supported Versions: Microsoft Edge on Windows and Mac since version 77 or later
Description
Configures a list of managed favorites.
The policy creates a list of favorites. Each favorite contains the keys "name" and "url," which hold the favorite's name and its target. You can configure a subfolder by defining a favorites without an "url" key but with an additional "children" key that contains a list of favorites as defined above (some of which may be folders again). Microsoft Edge amends incomplete URLs as if they were submitted via the Address Bar, for example "microsoft.com" becomes "https://microsoft.com/".
These favorites are placed in a folder that can't be modified by the user (but the user can choose to hide it from the favorites bar). By default the folder name is "Managed favorites" but you can change it by adding to the list of favorites a dictionary containing the key "toplevel_name" with the desired folder name as the value.
Managed favorites are not synced to the user account and can't be modified by extensions.

Maximum number of concurrent connections to the proxy server (MaxConnectionsPerProxy)
Supported Versions: Microsoft Edge on Windows and Mac since version 77 or later
Description
Specifies the maximum number of simultaneous connections to the proxy server.
Some proxy servers can't handle a high number of concurrent connections per client - you can solve this by setting this policy to a lower value.
The value of this policy should be lower than 100 and higher than 6. The default value is 32.
Some web apps are known to consume many connections with hanging GETs - lowering the maximum connections below 32 may lead to browser networking hangs if too many of these kind of web apps are open.
If you don't configure this policy, the default value (32) is used.

Control where security restrictions on insecure origins apply (OverrideSecurityRestrictionsOnInsecureOrigin)
Supported Versions: Microsoft Edge on Windows and Mac since version 77 or later
Description
Specifies a list of origins (URLs) or hostname patterns (like "*.contoso.com") for which security restrictions on insecure origins don't apply.
This policy lets you specify allowed origins for legacy applications that can't deploy TLS or set up a staging server for internal web development so that developers can test out features requiring secure contexts without having to deploy TLS on the staging server. This policy also prevents the origin from being labeled "Not Secure" in the omnibox.
Setting a list of URLs in this policy has the same effect as setting the command-line flag '--unsafely-treat-insecure-origin-as-secure' to a comma-separated list of the same URLs. If you enable this policy, it overrides the command-line flag.
For more information on secure contexts, see https://www.w3.org/TR/secure-contexts/.

Angi tidsperioden for oppdateringsvarsler (RelaunchNotificationPeriod)
Supported Versions: Microsoft Edge on Windows and Mac since version 77 or later
Description
Sets the time period, in milliseconds, over which users are notified that Microsoft Edge must be restarted to apply a pending update.
During this time period, the user is repeatedly informed that they need to restart. The app menu changes to indicate that a restart is needed when one third of the notification period passes. When two thirds of the notification period passes, the notification changes color, and again when the full notification period has passed. Additional notifications enabled by the 'RelaunchNotification' policy follow this same schedule.
If you don't configure this policy, the default period is 604800000 milliseconds (one week).

Supported Versions: Microsoft Edge on Windows since version 77 or later
Description
Control whether online revocation checks (OCSP/CRL checks) are required. If Microsoft Edge can't get revocation status information, these certificates are treated as revoked ("hard-fail").
If you enable this policy, Microsoft Edge always performs revocation checking for server certificates that successfully validate and are signed by locally-installed CA certificates.
If you don't configure or disable this policy, then Microsoft Edge uses the existing online revocation checking settings.

Enable resolution of navigation errors using a web service (ResolveNavigationErrorsUseWebService)
Supported Versions: Microsoft Edge on Windows and Mac since version 77 or later
Description
Allow Microsoft Edge to issue a dataless connection to a web service to probe networks for connectivity in cases like hotel and airport Wi-Fi.
If you enable this policy, a web service is used for network connectivity tests.
If you disable this policy, Microsoft Edge uses native APIs to try to resolve network connectivity and navigation issues.
**Note**: Except on Windows 8 and later versions of Windows, Microsoft Edge *always* uses native APIs to resolve connectivity issues.
If you don't configure this policy, Microsoft Edge respects the user preference that's set under Services at edge://settings/privacy.
Specifically, there's a **Use a web service to help resolve navigation errors** toggle, which the user can switch on or off. Be aware that if you have enabled this policy (ResolveNavigationErrorsUseWebService), the **Use a web service to help resolve navigation errors** setting is turned on, but the user can't change the setting by using the toggle. If you have disabled this policy, the **Use a web service to help resolve navigation errors** setting is turned off, and the user can't change the setting by using the toggle.

Websites or domains that don't need permission to use direct Security Key attestation (SecurityKeyPermitAttestation)
Supported Versions: Microsoft Edge on Windows and Mac since version 77 or later
Description
Specifies websites and domains that don't need explicit user permission when attestation certificates from security keys are requested. Additionally, a signal is sent to the security key indicating that it can use individual attestation. Without this, users are prompted each time a site requests attestation of security keys.
Sites (like https://contoso.com/some/path) only match as U2F appIDs. Domains (like contoso.com) only match as webauthn RP IDs. To cover both U2F and webauthn APIs for a given site, you need to list both the appID URL and domain.

Send all intranet sites to Internet Explorer (SendIntranetToInternetExplorer)
Supported Versions: Microsoft Edge on Windows since version 77 or later
Description
Allows you to configure whether your intranet sites are opened in Internet Explorer.
If you enable this policy, all intranet sites are automatically opened using the setting that’s configured in the ‘Configure Internet Explorer integration’ (‘InternetExplorerIntegrationLevel’) policy. The only exceptions are those sites configured with the open-in element in your Enterprise Mode Site List.
If you disable or don't configure this policy, your intranet sites are opened in Microsoft Edge, except for the sites listed in the Enterprise Mode Site List.
To enable this policy, you must first enable the ‘Configure Internet Explorer integration’ (‘InternetExplorerIntegrationLevel’) policy. Otherwise, this policy has no effect.
We strongly recommend keeping this policy in sync with the ‘Keep all intranet sites in Internet Explorer’ (‘KeepIntranetSitesInInternetExplorer’) policy. Additionally, it’s best to enable this policy only if your intranet sites have known compatibility problems with Microsoft Edge.
Related policies:
- Configure Internet Explorer integration (‘InternetExplorerIntegrationLevel’)
- Configure which version of Microsoft Edge to use for opening redirected sites (‘NeedEdgeBrowser’)
- Send all sites not included in the Enterprise Mode Site List to Microsoft Edge (‘SendIntranetToInternetExplorer’)
- Keep all intranet sites in Internet Explorer (‘KeepIntranetSitesInInternetExplorer’)

Define a list of allowed URLs (URLAllowlist)
Supported Versions: Microsoft Edge on Windows and Mac since version 77 or later
Description
Allow access to the listed URLs, as exceptions to the URL block list.
Format the URL pattern according to https://docs.microsoft.com//Placeholder01 .
You can use this policy to open exceptions to restrictive block lists. For example, you can include '*' in the block list to block all requests, and then use this policy to allow access to a limited list of URLs. You can use this policy to open exceptions to certain schemes, subdomains of other domains, ports, or specific paths.
The most specific filter determines if a URL is blocked or allowed. The allowed list takes precedence over the block list.
This policy is limited to 1000 entries; subsequent entries are ignored.
If you don't configure this policy, there are no exceptions to the block list in the 'URLBlocklist' policy.

Blokker tilgang til en liste over nettadresser (URLBlocklist)
Supported Versions: Microsoft Edge on Windows and Mac since version 77 or later
Description
Define a list of sites, based on URL patterns, that are blocked (your users can't load them).
Format the URL pattern according to https://docs.microsoft.com//Placeholder01.
You can define exceptions in the 'URLAllowlist' policy. These policies are limited to 1000 entries; subsequent entries are ignored.
Note that blocking internal 'edge://*' URLs isn't recommended - this may lead to unexpected errors.
This policy doesn't prevent the page from updating dynamically through JavaScript. For example, if you block 'contoso.com/abc', users might still be able to visit 'contoso.com' and click on a link to visit 'contoso.com/abc', as long as the page doesn't refresh.
If you don't configure this policy, no URLs are blocked.

Set the user data directory (UserDataDir)
Supported Versions: Microsoft Edge on Windows and Mac since version 77 or later
Description
Set the directory to use for storing user data.
If you enable this policy, Microsoft Edge uses the specified directory regardless of whether the user has set the '--user-data-dir' command-line flag.
If you don't enable this policy, the default profile path is used, but the user can override it by using the '--user-data-dir' flag. Users can find the directory for the profile at edge://version/ under profile path.
To avoid data loss or other errors, don't configure this policy to a volume's root directory or to a directory that's used for other purposes, because Microsoft Edge manages its contents.
See https://docs.microsoft.com/Placeholder08 for a list of variables that can be used.

Set WPAD optimization (WPADQuickCheckEnabled)
Supported Versions: Microsoft Edge on Windows and Mac since version 77 or later
Description
Allows you to turn off WPAD (Web Proxy Auto-Discovery) optimization in Microsoft Edge.
If you disable this policy, WPAD optimization is disabled, which makes the browser wait longer for DNS-based WPAD servers.

Independent of whether or how this policy is enabled, the WPAD optimization setting cannot be changed by users.

Restrict exposure of localhost IP address by WebRTC (WebRtcLocalhostIpHandling)
Supported Versions: Microsoft Edge on Windows and Mac since version 77 or later
Description
Allows you to set whether or not WebRTC exposes the user's localhost IP address.
If you set this policy to "AllowAllInterfaces" ('default') or "AllowPublicAndPrivateInterfaces" ('default_public_and_private_interfaces'), WebRTC exposes the localhost IP address.
If you set this policy to "AllowPublicInterfaceOnly" ('default_public_interface_only') or "DisableNonProxiedUdp" ('disable_non_proxied_udp'), WebRTC doesn't expose the localhost IP address.
If you don't set this policy, or if you disable it, WebRTC exposes the localhost IP address.
* 'default' = Allow all interfaces. This exposes the localhost IP address.
* 'default_public_and_private_interfaces' = Allow public and private interfaces over http default route. This exposes the localhost IP address.
* 'default_public_interface_only' = Allow public interface over http default route. This doesn't expose the localhost IP address.
* 'disable_non_proxied_udp' = Use TCP unless proxy server supports UDP. This doesn't expose the localhost IP address.
