Edge Policy REQ: Allow Extensions from other stores

An Edge policy to enable/disable "Allow extensions from other stores." would be very helpful.

 

We currently use the allow extensions policy, in addition to allowed lists, and url/store restrictions.  Some allowed extensions are from the Chrome store. 

 

Though using these requires this additional manual step to actually install the extension.

      This switch still appears to be off by default.  Is there any way to toggle the switch to "enabled"?  This would help reduce issues many are seeing.

  • dandirk Thanks for reaching out! To confirm, are you using Microsoft Edge on an Enterprise account? And if so, can you provide some more details about how an enable/disable policy would be beneficial?

      Correct yes we are using Edge with our Azure/Enterprise accounts (hybrid join, MEMCM co-managed etc).

       

      We currently white list approved extensions...  In order to install an approved extension from Chrome Web Store, users need to turn that flag on manually.

       

      We would like the option to set this for them, reduce one more self-config step and secure with other methods (allowed extensions/stores etc).

       

      Another option would be to exclude approved extensions from that security check so the option could still be off but still allow installation.  This is the behavior for forced extension installations...
