Description
Allows you to create a list of protocols and an associated list of allowed origin patterns, for each protocol. These origins aren't silently blocked from launching an external application by anti-flood protection. The trailing separator shouldn't be included when listing the protocol. For example, list "skype" instead of "skype:" or "skype://".
If you configure this policy, a protocol is only permitted to bypass being silently blocked by anti-flood protection if:
- the protocol is listed
- the origin of the site trying to launch the protocol matches one of the origin patterns in that protocol's allowed_origins list.
If either condition is false, anti-flood protection protection blocks the external protocol launch.
If you don't configure this policy, no protocols can bypass being silently blocked.
The origin-matching patterns use a similar format to those patterns for the 'URLBlocklist' (Block access to a list of URLs) policy, which are documented at https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2095322.
However, origin-matching patterns for this policy can't contain "/path" or "@query" elements. Any pattern that contains a "/path" or "@query" element is ignored.
This policy doesn't work as expected with file://* wildcards.
Example value:
[
{
"allowed_origins": [
"example.com",
"http://www.example.com:8080"
],
"protocol": "spotify"
},
{
"allowed_origins": [
"https://example.com",
"https://.mail.example.com"
],
"protocol": "msteams"
},
{
"allowed_origins": [
"*"

"protocol": "msoutlook"
