Specifies whether to opt out of Local Network Access restrictions
Verified with Microsoft Edge 152.0.4191.53 — updated on September 2, 2026
Supported on: Microsoft Edge version 143, Windows 7 or later
Path in the GPO console
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge\Network settings User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge\Network settings Description
This policy allows for opting out of restrictions on requests to local network endpoints. If you enable this policy, Local Network Access requests will only display warnings in Edge DevTools when Local Network Access checks fail. If you disable or don't configure this policy, Local Network Access requests follow the default handling behavior. For more information about Local Network Access restrictions, see Local Network Access. To allow specific URL patterns that should automatically be granted Local Network Access permission, use the LocalNetworkAccessAllowedForUrls policy. Note: This opt-out policy is temporary and will be removed after Microsoft Edge version 156.

Enabled: LocalNetworkAccessRestrictionsTemporaryOptOut = 1
Disabled: LocalNetworkAccessRestrictionsTemporaryOptOut = 0
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.
