Enable implicit sign-in
MicrosoftJohannes Goerlich Hi - I looked in the archive to find background information about this policy and it appears it was created to stop implicit sign in. Here is the Release Notes for v93 Stable: Archived release notes for Microsoft Edge Stable Channel | Microsoft Docs
I believe that is why enabling or not configuring the policy will have the same effect.
Also, I do not know if it will specifically create a new profile. Thanks!

Hi @Kelly_Y
the description reads:
"If you enable or don't configure this setting, implicit sign-in will be enabled, Edge will attempt to sign the user into their profile based on what and how they sign in to their OS."Independent from wether I enabled or disable the policy, it always (just) recommends to use my OS account for login:
(browser was restarted of course)
Indeed, there is no enforcement or automated account creation.
Enabling ImplicitSignInEnabled is a precondition for ConfigureOnPremisesAccountAutoSignIn and NonRemovableProfileEnabled, therefore I'm wondering what exactly is affected by this policy.
At https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-security-identity#automatic-sign-in it says generally "The device is hybrid/AAD-J: ... The user gets automatically signed in with their Azure AD account."
BR,
Joe

Johannes Goerlich Just checking, have you configured the BrowserSignin policy to 'Disable browser sign-in'? This would cause the policy to have no effect.
Also you mentioned, ConfigureOnPremisesAccountAutoSignIn and NonRemovableProfileEnabled, they won't take effect if ImplicitSignInEnabled is disabled.
I'm not quite sure what your specific goals are but it appears that there are a lot of Identity questions right now
. I would recommend either reaching out FastTrack or Support, they would be able to work with you one on one and make sure MS Edge is set up and configured for your specific needs. Thanks! -Kelly
You are on the Edge team and you are not sure her specific goal??? It's quite obvious what her goal is and she said it many times: Have Edge automatically sign in the user's profile into the browser. Your description of the setting is the opposite of what Intune/Endpoint Manager says:
"If you enable or don't configure this setting, implicit sign-in will be enabled, Edge will attempt to sign the user into their profile based on what and how they sign in to their OS. If you disable this setting, implicit sign-in will be disabled."
I can also confirm the setting doesn't work as described.
