Adding support for WBEX ADMX templates

Hello,

A customer brought up the idea that supporting Chrome and Edge ADMX templates for WBEX would be a better experience for system administrators instead of managing reg keys through GPO.

Have we ever considered or tried to support browser ADMX templates?

I see that this was requested in the past here:
https://forum.devolutions.net/topics/39599/ability-to-configure-devolution-web-login-through-gpo-admx

I could not find other customers who requested this at the moment.

If possible, I would like the customer who requested this to keep the conversation going with the developers in this thread if they have questions.
Feel comfortable to expand and provide clarifications as well.

Best regards,

Marc-Antoine Dubois

Hi,

WBEX can already be deployed via ADMX using the templates provided by both Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. For example, you can refer to the following policy for Google Chrome:
https://admx.help/?Category=ChromeEnterprise&Policy=Google.Policies.Chrome::ExtensionInstallForcelist

You can also find the relevant policy templates here for Chrome:
https://www.chromium.org/administrators/policy-templates/

To deploy settings in WBEX, registry keys containing JSON values must be used due to the way the APIs are designed by Google and Microsoft for their respective browsers. You can find more information on configuring policies for extensions here:
https://www.chromium.org/administrators/configuring-policy-for-extensions/
https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference/api/storage#property-managed
