Group Policies that affect the UiPath Extension for Edge

For this installation method the ExtensionInstallForcelist policy must contain the value:

DeveloperToolsAvailability

If the UiPath Extension for Edge is installed using Group Policy then the DeveloperToolsAvailability policy must be set to the value 1 (Allow usage of the Developer Tools) to enable the full extension functionality.
See more details about this setting in the troubleshooting page.

You can allow the UiPath NativeHost by adding the value com.uipath.chromenativemsg_v2 to the NativeMessagingAllowList policy.
