This policy setting defines whether a reference to an object is accessible when the user navigates within the same domain or to a new domain. If you enable this policy setting, object reference is no longer accessible when navigating within or across domains for all processes. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, object reference is retained when navigating within or across domains in the Restricted Zone sites.

Export Builder
BETAConfigure 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. ⓘ
Applying both scopes creates an ambiguous configuration (computer takes precedence over user). Only do this intentionally.
