Description

Define a list of sites, based on URL patterns, that can't access sensors such as motion and light sensors.

If you don't configure this policy, the global default value from the 'DefaultSensorsSetting' (Default sensors setting) policy (if set) or the user's personal configuration is used for all sites.

For URL patterns that don't match this policy, the following order of precedence is used: The 'SensorsAllowedForUrls' (Allow access to sensors on specific sites) policy (if there's a match), the 'DefaultSensorsSetting' policy (if set), or the user's personal settings.

The URL patterns defined in this policy can't conflict with those configured in the 'SensorsAllowedForUrls' policy. You can't allow and block a URL.

For detailed information about valid URL patterns, see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2095322.

Example value:

https://www.contoso.com
[*.]contoso.edu
