Extension Management allows administrators to control which browser extensions users can install. They can block, allow exceptions, or force-install specific extensions to ensure secure browsing across the organization.
Types of Extension Controls:
Blocked List – Prevents users from downloading or installing specific extensions.
Exceptions List – Allows certain blocked extensions for specific users or groups.
Forced Extensions List – Automatically installs and enforces specific extensions, preventing users from removing them.
Example:
A company wants to block all extensions to prevent security risks. However:
The finance team needs a specific accounting extension, so the administrator adds it to the Exceptions List for them.
A security extension is essential for all employees, so it is added to the Forced Extensions List, ensuring everyone has it installed and cannot remove it.
