Description

List of URL patterns. Network requests initiated from websites served by matching origins are not subject to Local Network Access checks. For origins not covered by the patterns specified here, the user's personal configuration will apply. For detailed information on valid URL patterns, please see https://chromeenterprise.google/policies/url-patterns/. See https://wicg.github.io/local-network-access/ for Local Network Access restrictions. There are multiple policies listing origins that impact requests to local device and local network endpoints. If an origin is matched by more than one of the following policies, the policies take precedence in the following order: - LocalNetworkBlockedForUrls - LocalNetworkAllowedForUrls - LoopbackNetworkAccessBlockedForUrls - LoopbackNetworkAccessAllowedForUrls - LocalNetworkAccessBlockedForUrls - LocalNetworkAccessAllowedForUrls Example value: http://www.example.com:8080 [*.]example.edu *

Configure the state, scope and options, then generate .reg, PowerShell, Intune and SCCM outputs — or add the setting to a multi-setting collection.

These exports write the registry — this is not a managed GPO.

What to embed
Theme

Adds one script line: the theme follows your site’s appearance and the height fits the content. If your site blocks scripts, the embed follows the visitor’s system theme.
