Extension managed policies loaded but not displayed in edge://policy

Hi,

 

Policies definied for an extension are not displayed in edge://policy

 

Policies are correctly loaded (from JSON under Linux and GPO or registry under Windows), I can see them in my debug page but neither in the policy page nor in the exported json.

 

This comportement can be reproduce in all versions under Windows and Unix (tested Edge: 90, 92, 93, 96, 97, 98, 99)

 

So is there a way to enable the display of extension policies ?

 

Edge policy page (no extension policy block)

My debug page confirms all managed properties are correctly loaded (but I have to enable debug mode, so in production I cannot quickly check them)

Exported JSON (extensionPolicies is empty)

I re-read documentation provided by Franck-SE without founding what I am looking for

 

Spoiler

Here are some guides that could be helpful as well when it comes to controlling or showing policies.

 

Configure policy guides:

Configure Microsoft Edge for Windows | Microsoft Docs

 

Edge Extension Policy setup:

Detailed guide to the ExtensionSettings policy | Microsoft Docs

Thanks in advance

      Hi Kelly_Y!
      Thanks for your answer,

      I have added my own extension through ExtensionInstallForcelist and ExtensionInstallSources from our internal store.
      This extension has it's own managed policies (chrome.storage.managed.get(["my_property",...])
      But this managed policies doesn't appear in "edge://policy" tab (like in chrome).

      This feature is very convenient to check if GPO are correctly loaded.

      I'm looking for a way to enable the display of these managed policies.

        GillesLandel Thanks for the additional details!  I've reached out to the extension team and will follow up if they have any insights or any follow up questions.
