Path in the GPO console
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge\Experimentation User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge\Experimentation Description
Configures users ability to override state of feature flags. If you set this policy to 'CommandLineOverridesEnabled', users can override state of feature flags using command line arguments but not edge://flags page. If you set this policy to 'OverridesEnabled', users can override state of feature flags using command line arguments or edge://flags page. If you set this policy to 'OverridesDisabled', users can't override state of feature flags using command line arguments or edge://flags page. If you don't configure this policy, the behavior is the same as the 'OverridesEnabled'. Policy options mapping: * CommandLineOverridesEnabled (2) = Allow users to override feature flags using command line arguments only * OverridesEnabled (1) = Allow users to override feature flags * OverridesDisabled (0) = Prevent users from overriding feature flags Use the preceding information when configuring this policy.
Registry
Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge 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.
