Kelly_Y Thanks for the quick reply, I appreciate it a lot.

We're using a similar config for policies for Chrome/Edge on Windows and Chrome on Macs.

Sadly, only setting values for managed storage on Mac for Edge doesn't work. We tried a couple of possible variants, but none seems to work. That's why I was asking for docs.

API of the browser works, but we cannot set these values from the system perspective via plist. 

Would be great to know what is the correct plist policy naming/schema to inject these values into managed storage. For Chromium it's com.google.Chrome.extensions.<ExtensionID>

    MichalZieba I just heard back from the team.  They said that the PLIST should be named as com.microsoft.Edge.extensions.<extension_id>.  

     

    The team has provided a sample file but Tech Community has a limitation to the type of files that can be shared and it is not letting me upload the plist file.  I'll include the information directly here.  

     

    Title: com.microsoft.Edge.extensions.okmamjclngbafeplaapaihlcjiaplgom.plist

    File Contents: 

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>TestKey</key>
    <string>ValueChrome</string>	
</dict>
</plist>
