    • Description … policy also applies to Chrome DevTools opened for extensions and web applications. [added: Blanket host wildcards (i.e., "*" or "[*]") are not allowed; use the DeveloperToolsAvailability policy to enable the feature globally. ]This policy is limited to 1,000 entries.

      Whole description, marked

      This policy can be used to allow Chrome DevTools on specific URLs. URL patterns are matched against the URL of every frame on the page being inspected. The resulting behavior depends on whether the DeveloperToolsAvailabilityBlocklist policy is also set. If this policy is set and DeveloperToolsAvailabilityBlocklist is not, every frame's URL must match a pattern on this allowlist for Chrome DevTools to be allowed. If any frame's URL does not match, DevTools will be blocked for the entire page. For information on the URL format, see https://support.google.com/chrome/a?p=url_blocklist_filter_format. If both this and the DeveloperToolsAvailabilityBlocklist policies are set, this allowlist takes precedence. If a frame's URL matches a pattern on this allowlist, it will be allowed, even if it also matches a pattern in the blocklist. If a URL matches a pattern on the blocklist (but not the allowlist), it will be blocked. If a URL matches neither, the DeveloperToolsAvailability policy will be used as a fallback. If this policy is not set, the availability of Chrome DevTools is determined by the DeveloperToolsAvailabilityBlocklist and DeveloperToolsAvailability policies. This policy also applies to Chrome DevTools opened for extensions and web applications. [added: Blanket host wildcards (i.e., "*" or "[*]") are not allowed; use the DeveloperToolsAvailability policy to enable the feature globally. ]This policy is limited to 1,000 entries. Example value: example.com https://ssl.server.com hosting.com/bad_path https://server:8080/path .exact.hostname.com file://*

    • Description … To allow URLs for all user profiles, please use the URLAllowlist policy. [added: Blanket host wildcards (i.e., "*" or "[*]") are not allowed; use the IncognitoModeAvailability policy to enable the feature globally. ]This policy is limited to 1000 entries.

      Whole description, marked

      Setting the policy provides access to the listed URLs in Incognito mode. Use it to open exceptions to certain URL patterns defined in IncognitoModeUrlBlocklist, using the format specified at ( https://support.google.com/chrome/a?p=url_blocklist_filter_format ). If both this policy and IncognitoModeUrlBlocklist are set, the allowlist takes precedence. If a URL matches a pattern on the allowlist, it will be allowed. If it matches a pattern on the blocklist (but not the allowlist), it will be blocked. If a URL matches neither, the general URLBlocklist/URLAllowlist policies will be used as a fallback. If this policy is set and IncognitoModeUrlBlocklist is not, any URL not on the allowlist will be blocked in Incognito mode. If IncognitoModeAvailability is set to disallow (value 1), but this policy is configured, Incognito mode will be available only for the URLs matching the allowlist. Leaving the policy unset allows no exceptions to IncognitoModeUrlBlocklist and IncognitoModeAvailability. This policy only affects Incognito mode. To allow URLs for all user profiles, please use the URLAllowlist policy.

      Whole description, marked

      When this policy is set to Enabled, Local Network Access requests will only display warnings in Chrome DevTools due to Local Network Access checks failing. When this policy is set to Disabled or unset, Local Network Access requests will use the default handling of these requests. See https://wicg.github.io/local-network-access/ for Local Network Access restrictions. This enterprise policy is temporary, and will be removed after M15[removed: 2][added: 6]. Long term, the policy LocalNetworkAccessAllowedForUrls can be used to allowlist URL patterns that should be automatically granted the Local Network Access permission.
