App Configuration in JSON Format
Hi folks, i'm facing a problem with Intune App Configuration Profiles.
At first let me outline the scenario:
- we want to use Android Enterprise Multi-App Kiosk Devices
- Everything belonging the multi-app kiosk is already working perfectly
- Now we want to limit the use of the Edge Browser, so that the user can only browse to certain webpages.
So what I've done:
- Created an app configuration policy with type "managed device"
- The configuration designer states, that i should use the json editor. (Only one setting is available in the config designer.)
- (Managed app is only possible if there are users signed in to the android device, therefore this type of app config policy is not applicable.)
- Afterwards i've started to build the json config, but this seems not to work:
{
"kind": "androidenterprise#managedConfiguration",
"productId": "app:com.microsoft.emmx",
"managedProperty": [
{
"key": "com.microsoft.intune.mam.managedbrowser.homepage",
"valueString": "https://www.sample.com"
},
{
"key": "com.microsoft.intune.mam.managedbrowser.managedTopSites",
"valueString": "Sample 1|https://www.sample.com||Sample 2|https://www.sample2.com
},
{
"key": "com.microsoft.intune.mam.managedbrowser.AllowListURLs",
"valueString": "https://www.sample.com|https://www.sample2.com"
},
{
"key": "com.microsoft.intune.mam.managedbrowser.NewTabPage.IndustryNews",
"valueBool": true
}
]
}
I got the parameters from this docs.microsoft.com .
After saving the json it looks like this: (no config keys and value types?!)
I would be so happy if anyone has some hint for me on how to solve this particular issue. ๐
Thank you in advance.
Kind greetings
Patrick

Neither solutions nor approaches to solutions?
Hi..
Did you validated the json?if I check it... there is a " missing at line 11After adding the " I am noticing the same behaviour as you, very weird indeed
- PatrickF11Steel ContributorHi Rudy,
thanks for your reply. The missing " was only missing in my posted sample data.
Intune is a little smarter than i thought and it doesn't allow to safe malformated json. ๐
- bjclsBrass ContributorDid you find a solution for this, because I'm also trying to set a homepage in Edge on a dedicated device? The managed device - app configuration is missing a bunch of settings compared to a managed apps profile.
- PatrickF11Steel ContributorUnfortunately not. ๐ Weโre still using google chrome instead.
- bookkeeper92Copper ContributorYou can create your "home page" as a "web link" App and add it to the Configuration Profile (Device experience -> Home Screen). In stead of deploying the edge browser (com.microsoft.emmx) you just deploy the "web link".
