Seamless Web To Browser Sign-in Enabled
Supported on Microsoft Edge version 133, Windows 7 or later
What it does
This policy only takes effect when the 'WebToBrowserSignInEnabled' (Web To Browser Sign-in Enabled) is enabled. If this policy is enabled, users can't turn off Seamless Web to Browser Sign-in feature from "Automatic sign in on Microsoft Edge" setting on Microsoft Edge profile settings page and that toggle will be greyed out. If this policy is disabled, users can't turn on Seamless Web to Browser Sign-in feature from "Automatic sign in on Microsoft Edge" setting on Microsoft Edge profile settings page and that toggle will be greyed out. If this policy isn't configured, users can turn on/off Seamless Web to Browser Sign-in feature from settings by themselves.

- 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.
