Policy
Block access to a list of URLs in InPrivate mode.
Microsoft Edge
Policy overview
Key metadata and intent for this policy.
Supported OS tags: Windows7
This policy controls which URLs are blocked from loading in InPrivate mode in Microsoft Edge. Administrators can specify a list of URL patterns that are blocked when users browse in InPrivate mode. For information about the supported URL pattern format, see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2095322. If both 'InPrivateModeUrlBlocklist' (Block access to a list of URLs in InPrivate mode.) and 'InPrivateModeUrlAllowlist' (Allow access to a list of URLs in InPrivate mode.) are configured, the allowlist takes precedence. - URLs that match the allowlist are allowed. - URLs that match the blocklist but not the allowlist are blocked. - URLs that match neither list follow the behavior defined by the general 'URLBlocklist' (Block access to a list of URLs) and 'URLAllowlist' (Define a list of allowed URLs) policies. If 'InPrivateModeUrlAllowlist' is configured and this policy is not configured, only URLs on the allowlist can be opened in InPrivate mode. If 'InPrivateModeAvailability' (Configure InPrivate mode availability) is set to disallow (value 1) and 'InPrivateModeUrlAllowlist' is configured, InPrivate mode is available only for URLs that match the allowlist. This policy applies only to InPrivate mode. To block URLs across all browsing modes, use 'URLBlocklist'. This policy supports up to 1000 entries. Example value: example.com https://ssl.server.com hosting.com/bad_path https://server:8080/path .exact.hostname.com file://* custom_scheme:* *
