For more information, see Configure Microsoft Edge using Microsoft Intune. You can use Microsoft Intune to configure Microsoft Edge policy settings. A recommended policy only takes effect when the user hasn't modified the setting. If both versions of a policy are set, the mandatory setting takes precedence. Most policies are only mandatory but there's a subset that is mandatory and recommended.

Recommended policies provide a default setting that the user can override. Mandatory policies override user preferences and prevent the user from the policy. Microsoft Edge supports mandatory and recommended policies.

This approach lets you apply policy settings that only affect the local device. To configure policies on individual computers, you can use Local Group Policy Editor on the target computer. You can target different policy settings to specific OUs, or use WMI filters to apply settings only to users or computers returned by a particular query. This approach lets you manage policy settings globally. You can use Active Directory group policy to configure Microsoft Edge policy settings if you prefer to manage policy at the domain level. Alternatively, add these rules and settings to the Policy Definition template folder on individual computers and then configure the specific policies you want to set.

To configure Microsoft Edge with group policy objects, install administrative templates that add rules and settings for Microsoft Edge to the group policy Central Store in your Active Directory domain.
