Description

Lets you specify which extensions the users CANNOT install. Extensions already installed will be disabled if blocked, without a way for the user to enable them. After a disabled extension is removed from the blocklist it will automatically get re-enabled.

A blocklist value of '*' means all extensions are blocked by default. Extensions that are explicitly listed in the allowlist are allowed if they are signed (packed). All unpacked extensions are blocked.

If this policy isn't set, the user can install any extension in Microsoft Edge.

Starting in Microsoft Edge version 149, the 'Microsoft365CopilotChatIconEnabled' (Control whether Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat shows in the Microsoft Edge for Business toolbar) policy controls the display of Copilot in the toolbar.

Example value:

extension_id1
extension_id2

Options

  • Extension IDs the user should be prevented from installing (or * for all)
