Group Policies that affect the UiPath Extension for Chrome
ExtensionInstallBlockList
The ExtensionInstallBlockList policy prevents extensions from being installed on the machine.
You can allow the UiPath Extension by adding the value dkgencfabioofgdmhhjljpkbbchbikbh
to the ExtensionInstallAllowList policy.
NativeMessagingBlocklist
The NativeMessagingBlockList policy prevents UiPath NativeMessagingHost from working.
You can allow the UiPath NativeMessagingHost by adding the value com.uipath.chromenativemsg_v2
to the NativeMessagingAllowList policy.

If the NativeMessagingUserLevelHosts policy is set to false
, it prevents the UiPath Extension from working correctly in the case it was installed without administrator privileges. To fix this, you can either:

- Set the NativeMessagingUserLevelHosts policy to
true
.

false
.
ExtensionAllowedTypes
If the ExtensionAllowedTypes policy is set, it prevents the UiPath Extension from being installed. To fix this, you must add the value extension
to the ExtensionAllowedTypes policy.
