Policy
Automatically grant permission to these sites to connect to HID devices containing top-level collections with the given HID usage
Microsoft Edge
Policy overview
Key metadata and intent for this policy.
Supported OS tags: Windows7
This setting allows you to list the URLs that specify which sites are automatically granted permission to access an HID device containing a top-level collection with the given HID usage. Each item in the list requires both usages and urls fields for the policy to be valid. * Each item in the usages field must have a usage_page and may have a usage field. * Omitting the usage field creates a policy matching any device containing a top-level collection with a usage from the specified usage page. * An item which has a usage field without a usage_page field is invalid and is ignored. If you don't set this policy, then 'DefaultWebHidGuardSetting' (Control use of the WebHID API) applies, if it's set. If not, the user's personal setting applies. For detailed information about valid URL patterns, see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2095322. * is not an accepted value for this policy. URLs in this policy shouldn't conflict with those configured through 'WebHidBlockedForUrls' (Block the WebHID API on these sites). If they do, this policy takes precedence over 'WebHidBlockedForUrls'. Example value: [ { "urls": [ "https://microsoft.com", "https://chromium.org" ], "usages": [ { "usage": 5678, "usage_page": 1234 } ] } ]
