That policy exists in both the "work" and "personal" Edge profiles. Are you aware of a means to apply Edge user policies only to the "work" profile, and ignore the personal profile?

      Jeff_Lamb Hi!  I spoke to the team and they confirmed the policy will apply to all profiles.  One workaround would be to configure the profile as "Recommended" so the user would be able to override.  

       

      If this something that is necessary for your organization, you can submit feature requests directly to the team through our in-browser feedback tool.  It's under "..." menu > Help and feedback > Send feedback.  Thanks!
