Policy
Configure the automatic profile switching site list
Microsoft Edge
Policy overview
Key metadata and intent for this policy.
Supported OS tags: Windows7
Sets this policy to control which profiles Microsoft Edge uses to open sites in. Switching configurations for sites listed in this policy takes precedence over other heuristics Microsoft Edge uses for switching sites; however, sites not listed on this policy are still subject to switching by those heuristics. If you don't configure this policy, Microsoft Edge continues using its heuristics to automatically switch sites. This policy maps a URL hostname to a profile that's used to open the site. The 'site' field takes the form of a URL hostname. The 'profile' field can take one of the following values: - 'Work': The most recently used Microsoft Entra signed-in profile is used to open a 'site'. - 'Personal': The most recently used Microsoft Account (MSA) signed-in profile is used to open a 'site'. - 'No preference': The currently used profile is used to open a 'site'. - 'Wildcard email address': This takes the form of '*@contoso.com'. A profile whose username ends with the contents following the '*' is used to open a 'site'. Example value: [ { "site": "work.com", "profile": "Work" }, { "site": "personal.com", "profile": "Personal" }, { "site": "nopreference.com", "profile": "No preference" }, { "site": "contoso.com", "profile": "*@contoso.com" } ]
