Group Policies that affect the UiPath Extension for Edge

ExtensionInstallBlockList

The ExtensionInstallBlockList policy prevents extensions from being installed on the machine.
You can allow the UiPath Extension by adding the value hfmfadgldlfpdagjlglajpeppomelhnm 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.

NativeMessagingUserLevelHosts

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:

• Install the UiPath Extension with Administrator Rights (more information can be found here).
• Set the NativeMessagingUserLevelHosts policy to true.

BlockExternalExtensions

If the BlockExternalExtensions policy is set to true, it prevents the UiPath extension from being installed in any other way except for by policy. To fix this you can either:

• Install the UiPath Extension by policy from Group Policy (more information can be found here).
• Set the BlockExternalExtensions policy to 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.

ExtensionSettings

If the ExtensionSettings policy is set to block all extensions it will prevent the UiPath Extension from being installed.
You can allow the UiPath Extension by adding the value hfmfadgldlfpdagjlglajpeppomelhnm to the ExtensionInstallAllowList policy.
