Turn off Trusted Documents on the network

UserNeeds changes for IntuneL_TurnOffTrustedDocumentsOnTheNetwork

Supported on SUPPORTED_Windows7 (defined in the Windows templates)

5568.1000

What it does

This policy setting allows you to turn off the trusted documents feature for documents opened from the network. If you enable this policy setting, users will always see security notifications for active content such as macros, ActiveX controls, data connections, etc. for documents opened from the network. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, the trusted documents feature allows users to always allow active content in documents such as macros, ActiveX controls, data connections, etc. so that users are not prompted the next time they open the documents. Trusted documents are exempt from security notifications.

What it writes

Hive: HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Registry key: software\policies\microsoft\office\16.0\access\security\trusted documents
Value name: disablenetworktrusteddocuments
When enabled: DWORD 1
When disabled: DWORD 0

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.
