Configure the automatic profile switching site list

Computer and userIntune-readyAutomaticProfileSwitchingSiteList

Supported on Microsoft Edge version 120, Windows 7 or later

155.0.4283.62

What it does

Sets this policy to control which profiles Microsoft Edge uses to open sites in. Switching configurations for sites listed in this policy takes precedence over other heuristics Microsoft Edge uses for switching sites; however, sites not listed on this policy are still subject to switching by those heuristics. If you don't configure this policy, Microsoft Edge continues using its heuristics to automatically switch sites. This policy maps a URL hostname to a profile that's used to open the site. The 'site' field takes the form of a URL hostname. The 'profile' field can take one of the following values: - 'Work': The most recently used Microsoft Entra signed-in profile is used to open a 'site'. - 'Personal': The most recently used Microsoft Account (MSA) signed-in profile is used to open a 'site'. - 'No preference': The currently used profile is used to open a 'site'. - 'Wildcard email address': This takes the form of '*@contoso.com'. A profile whose username ends with the contents following the '*' is used to open a 'site'. Example value: [ { "site": "work.com", "profile": "Work" }, { "site": "personal.com", "profile": "Personal" }, { "site": "nopreference.com", "profile": "No preference" }, { "site": "contoso.com", "profile": "*@contoso.com" } ]

The OMA-URI is an inferred ADMX-backed Policy CSP candidate derived from the source ADMX file name and policy name.
Some Microsoft policies use built-in Policy CSP pages whose area names don't match the ADMX file name, so verify the candidate against Microsoft Learn before deployment.
The generated payload is incomplete because one or more ADMX element values were not supplied: AutomaticProfileSwitchingSiteList
