Control Blueprint GWA availability

Computer and userIntune-readyBlueprintGWAAvailability

Supported on Microsoft Edge version 157, Windows 7 or later

157.0.4341.57

What it does

This policy controls whether users can send tab content to Copilot to create apps with GenerateWebApp (GWA) in Microsoft Edge. If you set this policy to 0 ('Unavailable'), GWA entry points are hidden and users can't use this feature. If you set this policy to 1 ('Available'), GWA is available when the feature is enabled and the user's profile is eligible. If you don't configure this policy or set it to an unsupported value, GWA follows the Connected Feature Control (CFC) policies. It remains available when EdgeConnectedFeatureControl is unconfigured or set to Off (0), Basic (1), or Balanced (2). It is unavailable when EdgeConnectedFeatureControlStrict is enabled. A supported, explicitly configured value for this policy takes precedence over CFC for GWA. This policy doesn't override feature availability or sign-in requirements and doesn't control the Remix toolbar button. * 0 = GenerateWebApp (GWA) is unavailable * 1 = GenerateWebApp (GWA) is available for eligible users Policy options mapping: * BlueprintGWAUnavailable (0) = GenerateWebApp (GWA) is unavailable * BlueprintGWAAvailable (1) = GenerateWebApp (GWA) is available for eligible users Use the preceding information when configuring this policy.

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: BlueprintGWAAvailability
