Key metadata and intent for this policy.
Supported OS tags: Windows10, Windows10RT, Windows11, Windows7, Windows8, Windows81, WindowsRT, WindowsRT81, WindowsServer2003, WindowsServer2008, WindowsServer2012, WindowsServer2012R2, WindowsServer2016, WindowsVista, WindowsXP
This policy setting allows you to specify a list of web sites that will be allowed to open pop-up windows regardless of the Internet Explorer process's Pop-Up Blocker settings. If you enable this policy setting, you can enter a list of sites which will be allowed to open pop-up windows regardless of user settings. Only the domain name is allowed, so www.contoso.com is valid, but not http://www.contoso.com. Wildcards are allowed, so *.contoso.com is also valid. If you disable this or do not configure this policy setting, you will not be able to provide a default Pop-up Blocker exception list. Note: You can disable users from adding or removing websites to the exception list by enabling "Turn off Managing Pop-up Allow list" policy.
