Kelly_Ythis is only for configuring the extensions settings itself, not for vendor specific settings.

For example, a password management extension can be configured with SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge\3rdparty\extensions\<extension_id>\policy\environment to set a default URL to a custom hosted environment.

This is at the moment not possible for extensions added via the Management Service because of the fact that the extensions are added as a "Cloud" policy, instead of a "Platform" policy.

    jebuz Hello - I've reached out to the team and they confirmed that Cloud policies apply to the user signed into the Edge browser, and the source will say "Cloud". 

     

    Intune policies should apply on the Platform level, which you can try testing out if you opt the tenant into public preview in the M365 admin center (Settings > Org Settings > Organization profile > Release preferences > any targeted release option).  Feature mentioned here: Microsoft Edge release notes for Stable Channel | Microsoft Learn

     

    Thanks!

      Yes, that's exactly what I am experiencing. But like the GPO and Policies are being applied to HKLM:SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge or HKCU:SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge. Where are the cloud policies are written?
